Excerpt from The Reservoir: Stories and Sketches
And that is Why for so long We obeyed the command of the grownups and never Walked as far as the forbidden Reservoir, but were content to return tired but happy (as We wrote in our school compositions), answering thequestion, Where did you walk today? With a suspicion of blackmail, Oh, nearly, nearly to the Reservoir!

About the Author:
Recipient of the prestigious Commonwealth Writers Prize in 1989, Janet Frame has long been admired for her startlingly original prose and formidable imagination. A native of New Zealand, she is the author of eleven novels, four collections of stories, a volume of poetry, a children's book, and her heartfelt and courageous autobiography--all published by George Braziller.
Review:
A rare treat-poetic, witty, pungent with character and sharply anecdotal. There is much zestful reading here. -- Boston Sunday Herald
Frame writes with a beauty that confers a morbid grandeur, that makes poetry of the particular, the private, the enclosed. -- The New York Times
