<DIV>This brand new collection of 28 short stories spans the length of Frame’s career and contains some of the best she wrote. None of these stories have been published in a collection before, and more than half are published for the first time in <I>Between My Father and the King</I>.<BR><BR>The piece 'Gorse is Not People' caused Frame a setback in 1954, when Charles Brasch rejected it for publication in <I>Landfall</I> and, along with others for one reason or other, deliberately remained unpublished during her lifetime. Previously published pieces have appeared in <I>Harper's Bazaar, the NZ Listener, </I> the <I>New Zealand School Journal, Landfall</I> and <I>The New Yorker</I> over the years, and one otherwise unpublished piece, 'The Gravy Boat', was read aloud by Frame for a radio broadcast in 1953.<BR><BR>In these stories readers will recognize familiar themes, scenes, characters and locations from Frame's writing and life, and each offers a fresh fictional transformation that will captivate and absorb.</DIV>
