Janet Paterson Frame ONZ, CBE, (August 28, 1924 - January 29, 2004), a New Zealand author, wrote eleven novels, four collections of short stories, a book of poetry, a children's book, and a three-volume autobiography. Famous for both her prose and her life story - she escaped lobotomy as a falsely-diagnosed mental patient only by receiving a literary prize just in time - she became a very private person in later life.
