The Power of a Book

Katherine Rundell

Katherine Rundell is a multi-award winning writer, a passionate activist and a rooftop walker. Together with our host Rachel Parris [https://www.instagram.com/rachelsvparris/] (BAFTA-nominated comedian, actor, author), Katherine reveals (at least) three children's books that have been powerful enough to help shape her life. Delivering not quite the soundtrack of her life, but the literary yarns that knit it together. A kind of "desert-island-children's-book" show. Three books: * Childhood favourite - the book that shaped who they are today, a little window into their childhood * Shared book - an important book, read with someone significant today * Gift to the future - a title to donate to The Children's Book Project, inspiring a future generation Brought to you by The Children's Book Project [https://childrensbookproject.co.uk/] - the Queen's Award-winning national charity that takes your pre-loved, unwanted children’s books and gives them to families with few, if any, of their own.
