Hello from Andalucía, Spain!

Thank you so much for the information you generously share on Bessie Head, an extremely valueable person for our species! 

I found her Tales of Tenderness and Power in London in 1990 and became a fan.

I’d like to create a little webpage for her and my English students and also translate a story into Spanish for a website we have to contribute to a better society. (All of this is work I do out of my own pocket, to create a Society of Knowledge, that discards violence as a way to relate and “solve” problems.) Of course, I’d send you the link and remove whatever you didn’t find in the Fair Use lines! :) Or just let me know how I should proceed. I’ll also create a graphic with her quotes and send you that, in the two languages.

Last, some links in the section LINKS are broken.

Kind regards,
