Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Maybe you work with books like I do, maybe you consider yourself well-read, one of the literati or at least the arty-literate. This is how it works, donate £5 to Firefly International through this page and you will receive a message with a link in it to a quite difficult quiz about books. Simple. Answer as many of the 100 questions as you can before midnight on December 31st and follow the instructions in the quiz to enter you answers and I will mark your quiz and declare a winner on the 1st January.

You are, of course, at liberty to donate more than £5 and, perhaps, if you work for a bookshop or bookselling company you might consider asking your company to offer just a little more.

Like you all, I have been watching the terrible events in the world that 2016 seems to keep throwing at us and I hope that this quiz might just be a small way in which we, in the world of books and our friends, can offer a little respite to children and young people from Bosnia, Palestine and Syria whose suffering is often more than we can imagine from the comfort of our living rooms, despite the coverage on our televisions.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
