A Suburban Fairy Tale is a disturbing story set in an English family at the end of the First World War.

But are they actually birds? Or could they be hungry little boys like himself?

About Katherine Mansfield
Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923) was born in Wellington, New Zealand, and settled in Europe to finish her education. She published her first short fiction in The New Age, then in Rhythm, whose editor, the British writer and critic John Middleton Murry, she soon married. Her writing contributed to the development of the stream of consciousness technique and to the modernist use of multiple viewpoints, and her style has had a powerful influence on the development of the short story form.
