“About the author” written and read by Susannah Fullerton.

Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923) was a New Zealand writer and critic, who is today considered one of the masters of the short story form.

The narrators collaborating on this project are professional associates of Voices of Today, a spoken audio production house located in Perth, Western Australia. 

Susannah Fullerton, OAM FRS, has been President of the Jane Austen Society of Australia for over twenty-five years. She is Patron of the Kipling Society of Australia, a founding member of the NSW Dickens Society, and of the Australian Bronte Association. Susannah is Sydney’s best-known lecturer on classic novels. She lectures regularly at the Art Gallery of NSW, at the State Library of NSW, at conferences, schools, and libraries around Australia and overseas.

Erin Marie White is an Australian voice-over talent known for her youthful, warm, and expressive voice.

Until recently, Naomi Barton traveled the world as an International School Drama teacher with her husband and two daughters. This enabled her to collect many different stories, accents, and adventures. As well as listening to audio, she loves to groom her Ragdoll cats, play with watercolour paints, and support her teenage daughters to be the most amazing young women they can be. Her interpretive skills combined with her passion for voice work is just part of what she brings to audiobook narration.

She has produced over eight hundred video segments and voiced over a thousand television shows, corporate videos, training programs, and commercials. An expert in utilizing accents, she has been narrating audiobooks for more than four years.

Sarah Bacaller is a writer, researcher, and audiobook narrator from Melbourne, Australia.
