World Book Day is on the 6th of March.

World Book Day will mark 30 years of literary fun in 2025.

Unesco, which promotes global education, culture and heritage, created the annual event on April 23, 1995. Since then, it has become a worldwide movement celebrating books and encouraging children to read.

World Book Day 2025 falls on Thursday, March 6. Many UK schools encourage children to dress as their favourite character and bring the accompanying book.

In schools that celebrate World Book Day, children share their favourite books, discuss the stories, and explain why they chose their characters. Some schools even hold competitions for the most authentic costumes.

Neil Gaiman has now been accused on record, by multiple women, of serious acts of sexual misconduct. Instead of creating the right conditions for a legal proceeding against Gaiman, however, these allegations have merely torpedoed his ersatz second career as the presiding genius of media based on his writing. Only a few months ago, Gaiman’s graphic novel Sandman was a popular live-action series on Netflix and the hottest new ensemble performance on Audible.com for fans of cerebral fantasy. Those projects have now been shuttered. Good Omens, Gaiman’s so-so television series on Amazon Prime, is dead as well. One of Gaiman’s two publishers has dropped him. His name is on everyone’s lips. He’ll never get clear of this.

Joseph Kugelmass: We Can’t Save Neil Gaiman; And he doesn’t deserve it.

Sandman author Neil Gaiman has denied allegations of sexual misconduct, saying he has “never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever”.

The 64-year-old was accused on Monday of sexual misconduct by eight women, including four who had previously spoken out.

Writer and poet Benjamin Zephaniah has been remembered as a “titan of British literature” after his death aged 65.

He died early on Thursday with his wife by his side after being diagnosed with a brain tumour eight weeks ago, a statement on his Instagram said.

One of Britain’s most prolific literary voices, Zephaniah was credited with creating “dub poetry”, with the words recited over the beats of reggae music. An outspoken political activist, his work dealt with themes of racism, poverty, and social injustice.

Born in Birmingham on 15 April 1958, Zephaniah was the son of a postman from Barbados and his mother was a nurse from Jamaica. Diagnosed with dyslexia at an early age, he left an approved school unable to read or write at the age of 13.

Benjamin was a hero to millions of people all over the world. His mix of poetry, novels, wisdom, humour and sheer presence grabbed us and delighted us. I first saw him when he was starting out in the poetry clubs, dancing a poem about his mother, voicing his poetry in a voice I hadn’t heard before: Brummie-Caribbean. It was an honour and treat to work with him many times over the years, on videos, radio programmes, and when he MC’d an award ceremony run by the British Council for the best examples of English teaching. Then and often elsewhere, he loved reflecting on his journey from being a semi-literate teenager, getting into trouble, to someone feted at the highest levels for his literary achievements and force of personality.
