This is the photograph of Katherine Mansfield we used to accompany Eve Lacey’s prizewinning essay. It is also used by Silksound Books, which is an audiobook company which sells recordings by well-known actors. What could be more soothing than Lindsay Duncan reading The Garden Party? Silksound is rather a discovery. They also have eg. Wuthering Heights read by Juliet Stevenson and The Railway Children read by Margaret Tyzack. And you can buy directly from their site (each audiobook is £7.95) rather than have to go to a megacorp: here is the catalogue.
