COMPETITION WINNER!

We had a huge response to our last competition to win a copy of Kirsty Gunn’s Thorndon: Wellington and Home: My New Zealand Project.

The question posed was:

What was the name of the Beauchamps’ family home in Karori, which Mansfield used as the setting for ‘The Doll’s House’?

The correct answer was, of course, Chesney Wold.

Thanks to all who entered, and congratulations to the lucky winner, Sue Jamieson. Your prize is on its way!

NEW COMPETITION!

This time round, we’re offering a chance for you to win a copy of C. K. Stead’s Mansfield: A Novel.

Professor Stead himself has set the following question:

Who was the poet, Mansfield’s almost exact contemporary, who called her A VERY DANGEROUS WOMAN?
