Inventing An Ancestor
Katherine Mansfield had a vivid imagination. She wrote about people, real people, real locations and real situations, but she could also invent. Once she wrote to a friend, 'Would you not like to try all sorts of lives - one is so very small - but that is the satisfaction of writing - one can impersonate so many people.'
I would like you to invent a person, let's make it an interesting relative. Here is an example.
"Gertrude Fenella Wattle-Bottle 1897-1969
Gertrude Fenella, or Gerf as she was called, began life in Opoutere, a small coastal settlement at the bottom of the Coromandel Peninsula. Not one to enjoy the sleepy murmur of the tidal lagoon, and attracted to fame, fortune, and new electric lights, at the age of 16 she escaped to Thames and began work for a seamstress who made the costumes for the Thames theatrical Society."
