Shortly before her death in 1941, Virginia laid plans for the contents of her next volume of short stories. In this volume, Leonard Woolf attempted to carry out Virginia's intentions, including six of the eight short stories first published in 1921 in "Monday or Tuesday", adding six stories that had appeared since 1922 in magazines, and a further six new stories, never previously published.
