Katherine Mansfield: A woman in love

Katherine Mansfield was a writer who had a lot of feelings, and had a lot of love to give. It's her birthday today! Katheleen Mansfield was born on the 14th of October in 1888 in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington. To celebrate her birthday the Katherine Mansfield House & Garden has published a book titled Woman in Love - a collection of her love letters of all sorts. It includes romantic love, but also lots of other types of affection. The book's foreword is by British filmmaker Richard Curtis of Love Actually fame, and his daughter Scarlett. It turns out that Richard Curtis was actually born in Wellington and he and his daughter have both been long fascinated by Mansfield. The editor of the collection is president of the Katherine Mansfield Birthplace Nicola Saker.
