Vanessa Feltz edits and introduces a gripping collection of real life stories from people around the UK who have transformed difficulty into triumph.
Quick Reads are ideal for people wanting a short, fast read and also for people who find reading difficult or dull. They aim to make reading fun and to encourage everyone to pick up a book on World Book Day.
The ten books cost just £1.99 each and form part of the second National Year of Reading.
