Gcina Mhlophe tell us "Lungile, The most beautiful girl in the land" - #NBW2020

Welcome to the first-ever VIRTUAL National Book Week! This year we celebrate #NBW2020 with a range of online activities, storytelling and so much more! Lungile is the most beautiful girl in the land. She grows up loving nature and learning from the young and old around her. She adores birds! She grows to become ready for marriage and suitors from far off lands come to woo her, the very rich, the very kind, the very handsome. She however rejects each and every one of them saying that the man of her dreams will come to her when she gets a message from a bird, much to the amusement of her community. As it turns out, her life and future would be changed in ways no one could have anticipated.
