The Travels of Sir John Mandeville
Translated with an Introduction by
C. W. R. D. Moseley
Though it is still disputed if, and how
far, Mandeville actually traveled, his
travelogue was consulted for hard
geographical information by Leonardo
da Vinci and Columbus and stands today
as an informative portrait of fourteenthcentury
Europe.

The Garden Party and Other Stories
Edited with an Introduction and Notes by
Lorna Sage
In deceptively simple language, Mansfield
illuminates complicated relationships
and profound, often troubling, ideas.
The fifteen stories in this collection range
from “At the Bay,” an impressionistic
evocation of family life set in her native
New Zealand, to the title story, an ironic
vignette about a society woman briefly
touched by the real world at the funeral of
her working-class neighbor.
