A book signed by the author always makes a good Christmas present. Each year, I take part in an annual online charity auction organised by Paddy Heron of Children in Read to raise funds for BBC Children in Need.
You can scroll through the site on Jumblebee. co.uk. and choose from an amazing selection of biographies and other books donated by contemporary authors.
I am donating a copy of ‘The Making of Swallows and Amazons (1974)’, an illustrated paperback that normally retails for £20. If the bidding exceeds £30, I will add one of my other memoirs.
Funds raised go directly to BBC Children in Need.
In 2023, items in this Authors and Illustrators’ auction, raised a total of £24,061 for BBC Children in Need.
Over the eleven years that the annual event has been running a stunning total of £141,766 has been raised. I joined in 2020 and have raised more than £627 for this cause.
Thank you for supporting this great cause!
