Some
young people do not have the time to read l o n g stories,
so this is the book for them!
2008 was a leap year, with 366 days, so each of these two hundred
and eighteen stories (I think, but you had better count them to
make sure) is 366 words long.
So it only takes
a minute or so to read one. And the famous authors who wrote them between
them write every sort
of story, so there may be more than one or two or ten or a hundred you
might like to read. One a
day from when you buy this book, after you come home from school will last
you for a whole year,
and who knows you may well want to read more and more.
And the nice thing is that £1 (or €1.30 if you are in Eire)
goes to Childline, a service provided by the NSPCC or the ISPCC to help
children
not
as
fortunate as you, and who desperately
need someone to talk to.
And no, this is not 366 words long! |
