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] ***'At the time of the strange happenings in Kowhai Street, Puamahara, people were living their quiet lives, taking pride in the maintenance of "suburban comfortable" homes, little realizing that inexplicable chaos was at hand. ***As the events of Kowhai Street unfold, the Tararua mountains, their foothills and orchards become as near and as far as the distant Carpathians. Janet Frame transports us to the realm of shifting dimensions - where unquestioned beliefs inexorably fall into doubt and ordinary lives come to blossom in the Ancient Springtime.' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***First impression of the first UK edition, complete in its original dustwrapper, in beautiful near fine condition. This last published novel by Janet Frame is now quite elusive, especially in such nice condition. ***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 # 4212x
