Jane Davis on Open Book
Last week, Director of The Reader Organisation, Jane Davis appeared on Mariella Frostrup's Open Book show on Radio 4. Jane offers advice for a listener who has found it difficult to concentrate on reading since a bereavement 15 years ago. As Jane says, reading, even in very small chunks, "takes you out of yourself to take you into yourself" and therefore can help people to deal with some of the more difficult times in their lives.
