The complete collection of Virginia Woolf's shorter fiction, including her most famous stories such as 'Kew Gardens' and 'A Haunted House'.

'The window panes reflected apples, reflected roses; all the leaves were green in the glass'

Nowhere are Virginia Woolf's daring experimentations with style and form more evident than in her short stories, which shimmer and flash with their author's peculiar genius. Collected by Leonard Woolf and published after her death, this is a complete collection of Virginia Woolf's shorter fiction. It is a fascinating and vivid introduction for readers new to Woolf, and a necessary companion for devotees.

Includes 'A Haunted House', 'Kew Gardens', 'A Mark on the Wall' and 42 other pieces.

Reviews for A Haunted House: The Complete Shorter Fiction

"""Woolf was an innovator who redfined the novel and pointed the way towards its future possibilities"" -- Jeanette Winterson ""Virginia Woolf stands as the chief figure of modernism in England and must be included with Joyce and Proust in the realisation of experimental achievements that have completely broken with tradition"" New York Times ""Virginia Woolf was one of the great innovators of that decade of literary Modernism, the 1920s. Novels such as Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse showed how experimental writing could reshape our sense of ordinary life. Taking unremarkable materials - preparations for a genteel party, a day on a bourgeois family holiday - they trace the flow of associations and ideas that we call ""consciousness"" Guardian"
