Welcome back to Part 3 of Framed in September — a celebration of all things art, even beyond books. Join me as I explore the art of great cartoonists; a new book on Classical Music for everyone, and the song I wrote and performed at South Africa's oldest Music Festival. Ideal for those who love books, art, and music!
