Pancakes and Books

I think you may have guessed that I have a thing for pancakes. . . well you're right , when I am not thinking about books, I am definitely thinking about the soft delicate cloud of goodness that encompasses pancakes. "Mugg & bean" is definitely right up there on my list of choices as the best place to take your book out for a date while treating yourself to a bottomless Hot chocolate  and pancakes of course!

Refilwe! Refilwe! Let down your locks so I can climb up the scraggy rocks

Image by Noluthando Refilwe-Zukiswa Wanner "Refilwe Refilwe Let down your locks so I can climb up the scraggy rocks"! This African retelling of the story of Rapunzel in isiZulu brings a huge smile to my face for a number of reasons. One of them being the beautiful retelling of this story in a vernacular language and the second reason has to be this beautiful image of Rapunzel with beautiful dreadlocks!!! As a young girl I remember my granny telling me many different short stories, about hippos, leopards, zebras and the reasons they had their spots, stripes or tusks. It was quite an exciting time and cannot have imagined my childhood without it! I think its important that this book is available for all the young girls like me who remember tying towels around their heads trying to be like Rapunzel, now they can aspire to be as beautiful as Refilwe with her beautiful African locks!.
