The Pleasure of Reading

A charming and revealing collection of essays from some of our best-loved writers about the pleasures of reading, including Margaret Atwood, Melvyn Bragg and Catherine Cookson. First published in hardback in 1992, it is now reissued in paperback with contributions from new writers. Royalties will go to the charity Give a Book, which seeks to get books to places where they will be of particular benefit.

Edited by Antonia Fraser and Victoria Gray
