Marking 20 years since Janet Frame died

Janet Frame died in Dunedin 20 years ago today after a long and and eventful life. From working class origins she became a world famous author yielding her 'memory and a pocketful of words' with enormous talent and a disciplined dedication to her craft. She has often been called a genius but she herself attributed the secret of her success to "1 percent inspiration and 99% perspiration". 📚

She is dearly missed by her loved ones 💔 but she lives on in her amazing work which continues to be reprinted around the world in English and many other languages. 📚 Still keeping me busy in the role she handed to me of managing her copyright and caring for her charitable trust🌹
