"How Pearl Button Was Kidnapped" is a 1912 short story by Katherine Mansfield.
It was first published in Rhythm in September 1912 under the pen name of Lili Heron.
Pearl Button is playing outside whilst her mother is ironing clothes.
After a long walk they arrive at a Māori settlement, where the little girl is given a fruit to eat.
The text is written in the modernist mode, without a set structure, and with many shifts in the narrative.
