We look forward to welcoming Wendy Maartens, beloved author of children’s and youth books, for the launch of her latest collection, Afrikanerkind – Boerestories, in conversation with Magdel Vorster on the 13th of September at 11:00 at Oude Leeskamer.
In her latest collection, Wendy shares moving stories from the Anglo-Boer War – seen through the eyes of children like Nellie Botha, Helena Lotrie and Jan Uys.
The stories emphasise pride, identity, and reconciliation, and show how people helped and served each other with love throughout the years. A modern story within a story about emigration brings this history home to today’s young readers.
