"Breaking the Sound Barrier is easy to read. It's a step-by-step instructional manual for parents and caregivers who wish to promote pre-literacy skills in pre- and beginning readers and help establish and consolidate reading, writing, and spelling proficiency in early readers. Furthermore, Breaking the Sound Barrier is an invaluable resource for established readers who do not have an understanding of the relationship between the letter and sound principle of phonemic awareness, usually illustrated by poorer spelling competency."
"Between 1922 and 1923, Katherine Mansfield wrote four volumes of short stories:
The Garden Party and Other Stories
Bliss and Other Stories
In a German Pension
The Dove’s Nest and Other Stories
This recording includes all sixty-three stories from the four collections, including a number of incomplete stories collated after Mansfield’s death.
This recording also includes an introduction written and narrated by Australian literary scholar Susannah Fullerton."
"In a German Pension (1911) was Katherine Mansfield’s first published collection of short stories. Many of these works had been previously published in the British weekly magazine, The New Age, which also featured work by figures including G. K. Chesterton, H. G. Wells, and George Bernard Shaw. The word “pension' in the title refers to a European guest-house.
After several relationally tumultuous years—which saw Mansfield fall pregnant out of wedlock, only to marry another man whom she left on the night of the wedding (an outcome that Mansfield’s mother blamed on a lesbian relationship)—Katherine was whisked off by her mother to Bad Wörishofen, a German spa town. Around this time, she miscarried her child. The stories contained in this collection were written soon after.
Contents:“Germans at Meat”“The Baron”“The Sister of the Baroness”“Frau Fischer”“Frau Brechenmacher Attends a Wedding”“The Modern Soul”“At ‘Lehmann’s’”“The Luft Bad”“A Birthday”“The Child Who Was Tired”“The Advanced Lady”“The Swing of the Pendulum”“A Blaze”
