The Best Bedtime Book?We've been sorting out the cupboard under the stairs at 主播大秀 Radio York and we've found a box of Bedtime Story books. There are 100 books left and to make them extra special they've been signed by all the presenters. Find out how you can get a copy... How do I get one?To make the last books extra special, all the presenters at 主播大秀 Radio York have signed them, so we're hoping you'll be willing to make a generous donation to Children in Need in order to get your hands on one of the very last copies. The books will be available on Children in Need day ONLY. That's Friday 14th November 2008. We ask you to make a minimum donation of 拢5, if you'd like to give a bit more, that's great.  Illustration from The Best Bed You can either call into 主播大秀 Radio York's studios on Bootham Row in York and pick up your copy or you can ring to reserve a copy. It's first come, first served. Once they've all gone - that's it. 主播大秀 Radio York reception and the phone-lines will be open from 7am to 5pm, so if you want to secure your copy make sure you're in the queue early. How did the book come about?As part of the 主播大秀's Reading and Writing campaign (RaW), 主播大秀 Radio York ran a Bedtime Stories Writing Competition. We were surprised and delighted with the reaction. The winning story, The Best Bed, written by Esther Lilley, was chosen by best-selling author Gervase Phinn. But it wasn't an easy task - the standard of entries was incredibly high. Impressed by the quality of the stories, 主播大秀 Radio York decided to produce a book of the shortlisted stories and sell it to raise money for Children In Need 2007. After all, it's a book for children, and as well as funding lots of brilliant projects both in the UK and abroad, Children in Need has also boosted projects closer to home. To help 主播大秀 Radio York's Bedtime Stories Book, students on the Graphic Design course at York College did some fantastic illustrations. Local printer, Sessions of York kindly offered to publish the first 500 copies of the book free of charge. We had 1000 copies printed, and spread the cost of the printing across every book meaning that for every book we sold, at least 拢4.55 went direct to Children in Need. Thank you!Finally, we should say a huge thank you to everyone involved in the making of the of the book - the authors, the illustrators, Gervase Phinn, and the very generous people at Sessions publishers in York. And, of course, thank you to everyone who's bought a copy! PS - We forgot to mention, the project was nominated for a Sony Award - the radio equivalent of the Oscars! So well done to everyone involved. last updated: 12/11/2008 at 13:29 Have Your SayWhat do you think to the top five stories in the 主播大秀 Radio York bedtime stories writing competition?
