It’s world book day today and many young people all over the world will be going to school dressed as their favourite characters. There will surely be lots of Harry Potter, David Walliams, Roald Dahl, Jacqueline Wilson, Tom Fletcher, Clare Balding (etc) and Disney (etc) characters as world book day becomes more about commerce than about reading good literature.
And how many of the characters going to schools today (assuming they are open, of course) will be based on books with an environmental theme?
