In his review of Bob Dylan’s book The Philosophy of Modern Song (9 November), Bob Stanley writes that of the three people in the cover photo, “everyone will recognise Little Richard, some will get Eddie Cochran, but the young woman with the guitar standing between them is a mystery to me”. The answer, together with some interesting insights into the early years of rock’n’roll, can be found in the Guardian (Alis Lesley: the ‘female Elvis’ who takes centre stage on Bob Dylan’s new book cover, 21 October).

• The civilised aid to eating a hotel breakfast (or shopping early or late) in pyjamas is a tracksuit on top, but it doesn’t work with a dressing gown (Mumsnet is aflame over the family who wore pyjamas to a breakfast buffet. Is it really the end of the world?, 14 November).
