To celebrate The Prince of Wales's 60th birthday this month, 'The Birthday Book' has been produced in aid of The Prince's Foundation for Children & the Arts. The children's book, edited by Michael Morpurgo and Quentin Blake, will be published on 6th November 2008.
'The Birthday Book' sees over 50 of the finest authors and illustrators from the book world contributing extracts from favourite titles, poems and new stories, together with new illustrations for this gift book. The book includes contributions from Philip Pullman, Kevin Crossley-Holland, Dame Jacqueline Wilson and J.K. Rowling, with new pieces from authors including Eoin Colfer, Anthony Horowitz and Eleanor Updale. The stories, poems and letters are illustrated by the crème de la crème of contemporary illustrators including Axel Scheffler, Posy Simmonds, Emily Gravett and of course Quentin Blake.
The Prince's Foundation for Children & the Arts is an educational charity that helps children experience the arts in a high quality and sustained way. It provides access for young people who would otherwise grow up having had no, or very limited, opportunity to engage with the arts.
