Plant the seeds of imagination with the gift of books this May. For too many disadvantaged children, books are a luxury their family can’t afford. Just £3 a month from you today would help more children experience the joy of reading.

The tragic terrible news has come to me that Benjamin Zephaniah's family have announced that Benjamin has died. I'm devastated. I admired him, respected him, learnt from him, loved him. Love and condolences to the family and to all who loved him too.
