R.K. Narayan
There is so much overlap with Narayan's various collections that it is a chore to keep it straight.
Probably the best approach is to read Malgudi Days (1982) ✓, Under the Banyan Tree (1985) ✓ and The Grandmother's Tale and Selected Stories (1993). But that still leaves a handful of stories such as "A Night of Cyclone" and "The Performing Child" and perhaps a few others to track down.

Katherine Mansfield
In a German Pension (1911)Bliss and Other Stories (1920)
The Doves' Nest and Other Stories (1923)
Something Childish and Other Stories (1924)
Mansfield is generally considered one of the best short story writers of her generation and one of the first modernist writers. Indeed, she had a somewhat intense rivalry with Virginia Woolf. I may at one point have owned a copy of her Collected Stories, but it seems to have vanished.* I recently picked up an e-book edition of her complete stories (and poetry), but I find I'm still a lot more likely to read deeply in a printed book, so I've ordered the Selected Stories from Oxford, which seems fine aside from not listing the source of the stories in a single location, so you have to go traipsing through the notes at the back.
Edit (Aug 2023) * And then Mansfield's Collected Stories turned up of course...
