Bulibasha The King of the Gypsies

Our October meeting hosted by Jackie discussed Bulibasha The King of the Gypsies by Witi Ihimaera.  There was a lot of references to other Ihimaera stories (the hockey game in the Beginning of the Tournament), Maori mythology and other ancient mythologies, to other authors/poets (eg the Highwayman), and  movies and songs that our readers knew.  This made the reading of this book a richer experience.

We also had a great catch up with Jan, who was attending her first meeting since April.  Welcome back Jan.
