Book description
Ox-Tales is a set of four compelling and collectible books, each themed
on one of the elements. 'Air' features stories by Alexander McCall
Smith, Helen Simpson, DBC Pierre, AL Kennedy, Kamila Shamsie, Beryl
Bainbridge, Louise Welsh, Diran Adebayo and Helen Fielding, and a poem
by Vikram Seth. The idea behind Ox-Tales is to raise money for Oxfam and
along the way to highlight the charity's work in project areas:
agriculture in Earth, water projects in Water, conflict aid in Fire, and
climate change in Air. The four books will play a central role in the
first ever Oxfam Bookfest, a new annual event launching in July 2009.
Created in partnership with Hay Festival, the program includes more than
300 events across the UK. 'Air' features stories by Alexander McCall
Smith, Helen Simpson, DBC Pierre, AL Kennedy, Kamila Shamsie, Beryl
Bainbridge, Louise Welsh, Diran Adebayo and Helen Fielding. It also
includes a poem by Vikram Seth.
