Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Val Biro [dustwrapper design] (illustrator). First Edition. First impression of the true first New Zealand / Australian edition. ***Very good in light brown cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still beautifully bright having been protected by the dustwrapper. Head and tail of spine slightly creased. Lower corner tips of boards slightly creased. There are some light surface marks on the front board, and a small patch of staining to the fore-edge of the page block. There is also a very small stain on the bottom edge of the page block which has affected the bottom margins of a few pages. Internally near fine with no inscriptions or annotations. Pages clean and uncreased. Spine tight. ***In a very good colour-illustrated dustwrapper, designed by Val Biro. The dustwrapper is complete, with just very light rubbing and creasing to the edges, but no chips or tears. The white areas of the back panel are marked [please see scans]. Slight browning to the spine of the dustwrapper but no fading. ***222mm x 140mm. 212 pages. ***'Janet Paterson Frame ONZ CBE (28 August 1924 - 29 January 2004) was a New Zealand author. She was internationally renowned for her work, which included novels, short stories, poetry, juvenile fiction, and an autobiography, and received numerous awards including being appointed to the Order of New Zealand, New Zealand's highest civil honour. Frame's celebrity derived from her dramatic personal history as well as her literary career. Following years of psychiatric hospitalisation, Frame was scheduled for a lobotomy that was cancelled when, just days before the procedure, her debut publication of short stories was unexpectedly awarded a national literary prize. Many of her novels and short stories explore her childhood and psychiatric hospitalisation from a fictional perspective, and her award-winning three-volume autobiography was adapted into the film "An Angel at My Table" (1990), directed by Jane Campion.' [Wiki] ***'The story is a death-fable, a life-fable, a dream if you like, or a nightmare, by one of our most original and daring writers. Miss Frame does not rush in where angels fear to tread, but there is something angelic in the clear-eyed way she face reality. In "Daughter Buffalo" this extraordinary author proves that truth is stranger than fiction, spotlighting with accuracy and humour our all too human situation.' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***First impression of the simultaneous New Zealand / Australian true first edition, complete in its original dustwrapper. Quite hard to find in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 8311
