Free Thought
As part of the BBC's Free Thinking festival, Director of The Reader Organisation, Jane Davis, appeared on Radio 3's breakfast show with her impassioned 'Free Thought' about the real value of literature. Jane talks about how she founded The Reader Organisation, with the aim of "Bringing books to life, off the syllabus, down from the shelves and into the hands of people who need them. We all need the added brain power and meditative reflection that reading can bring." It's very short and very strong. Listen here.
