The greatest Christmas gift

Do you remember as a child, being given a new book on Christmas Day? Slowly peeling off the wrapping paper, then eagerly flicking through the crisp, colourful pages.

From Santa getting stuck in the chimney to Dickens' miserly hero Ebenezer Scrooge, the tales we share at Christmas time are an important part of growing up.

Sadly only seven per cent of all books are available in formats that blind and partially sighted people can read. You can help change this story by making a donation to our Christmas appeal today.
