An Armenian Cup of Tea. (ATL ref. Mansfld P 823.2 MAN 1978) The Turnbull Library collects all published works by and about Katherine Mansfield. That includes works in translation, such as this Armenian edition of the short story collection, A Cup of Tea. The donor of the book had found it in a street market in Armenia while on holiday. Acquiring it was somewhat tricky, as neither the buyer nor the seller were able to speak the other's language. Our donor managed to ask the stallholder if he had anything by Mansfield, at which he replied, Would she like a cup of tea? Our donor felt a little alarmed by such a forward suggestion, until she realised he was referring to the book's title. We were very grateful to receive this hard-to-find addition to the collection.
