Throughout her life, Virginia Woolf worked and reworked short story ideas, trying to encapsulate her thoughts perfectly in a concise form, but rarely did she publish them. This volume brings together the stories from her own collection 'Monday or Tuesday', together with stories that later appeared individually in magazines and those from amongst her papers that her widower, Leonard, thought sufficiently polished to put before her readers.
