JUST WHEN STORIES

Book ID/图书代码： 01583010B36381

English Summary/英文概要： When Kipling wrote his story of the rhinoceros with the itchy skin, rhino numbers stood at around 65,000. Today, fewer than 3,000 black rhinos survive. Our authors have each donated a story about an animal to help WildAid’s work internationally in bringing an end to the illegal trade in endangered species, and in so doing to stop the potential extinction of such animals. All the authors have allocated us exclusive world rights for a period of two years, and our target is to launch the volume in as many territories in the world as possible. Profits from sales of the book will go to WildAid, the international charity working to end the illegal trade in endangered species. WildAid will be pleased to help with publicity and promotion plans in all territories. Jackie Chan, who has supported the work of WildAid in the Far East for many years, will be promoting Just When Stories throughout the region, and would serve as a powerful ambassador for the book. We are working with a number of high profile organisations in the UK for our launch in August, and the Mail on Sunday has already come on board as our publicity partner, sponsoring a national UK competition to find the best new short story about an animal by a writer under the age of 17.
