In this short story by Katherine Mansfield, an unidentified narrator is left in charge of Mrs. Raddick's children while their mother keeps her friend, Mrs. MacEwen, company at the casino. At twelve, Hennie is delighted with everything the world has to offer-an English bulldog, a cup of chocolate, a pineapple cream-while his sister is bored. Touching and funny, "The Young Girl" depicts youth's bewilderment with the world of grown-ups and impatience to get there.

Biographie de Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield was a popular New Zealand short-story writer best known for the stories "The Woman at the Shore, " "How Pearl Button Was Kidnapped, " "The Doll's House, " and her twelve-part short story "Prelude, " which was inspired by her happy childhood. Although Mansfield initially had her sights set on becoming a professional cellist, her role as editor of the Queen's College newspaper prompted a change to writing.
Mansfield's style of writing revolutionized the form of the short story at the time, in that it depicted ordinary life and left the endings open to interpretation, while also raising uncomfortable questions about society and identity. Mansfield died in 1923 after struggling for many years with tuberculosis.
