Library Catalogue Dunedin: Birth and Death
Dunedin was the birthplace of
Janet Frame and although she spent most of her life elsewhere she returned to
Dunedin to live on several occasions, and she also settled back in South
Dunedin towards the end of her life, just a few streets away from the house
where her parents had lived when she was born. In Dunedin city environs, three
separate plaques commemorate Janet Frame's connection with the region: one is
situated in the Octagon just beside the statue of Robert Burns; another is to
be found right outside the main entrance to the Railway Station at the bottom
of Lower Stuart Street. The third plaque is located in a public reserve at
Seacliff, once part of the grounds of the former Seacliff Hospital gardens. |
