Most of Janet Frame's works had both a UK and a US edition. Usually the NZ and UK editions of a work were published
simultaneously and are identical except for dust wrapper and imprint page. Occasionally
there is a distinct NZ edition. Often the US and the UK/NZ editions have marked
differences in the copyediting of punctuation and paragraphing.
Janet Frame's works have been reprinted and/or reissued repeatedly
under various imprints, and almost all of the books have been in print
somewhere in the world continuously since first publication.
