About this listen

What happens when a magical night meant for children reveals how quickly wonder can fade?

In Sun and Moon by Katherine Mansfield, two young siblings—Sun and Moon—eagerly await a grand evening party held by the adults in their home, convinced it will be the most exciting event of their lives. As preparations unfold and the house fills with lights, music, and unfamiliar guests, the children drift between anticipation and confusion. Their innocent expectations slowly collide with the rules and indifference of the adult world, reshaping how they see the celebration—and each other.

With her signature psychological insight, Mansfield captures childhood perception with tenderness and precision, revealing the quiet shift from enchantment to awareness. Sun and Moon explores innocence, disappointment, and emotional awakening through a child’s eyes.

Press play and experience one of her most memorable short stories—where a single evening gently alters how the world is seen.
