Description

The project launches with a set of four stunningly produced books, each containing eight original stories. Each book is themed on one of the elements  Earth, Fire, Air and Water  and features work from a dream cast of authors.

Air features stories by Alexander McCall Smith, Helen Simpson, DBC Pierre, AL Kennedy, Kamila Shamsie, Beryl Bainbridge, Louise Welsh, Diran Adebayo and Helen Fielding.

The big idea is to raise money for Oxfam and along the way to highlight the charityÂs work in project areas: agriculture in Earth, water projects in Water, conflict aid in Fire, and climate change in Air.

First published 2009.
