The British public have been impressively generous in the early days after the disaster. Unfortunately, given the scale of the destruction, that generosity needs to be long-term, and many charities are worried that \"charity fatigue\" will set in. The anthology is a way of nudging people to continue giving over the long-term. Of course the book will sell when it is published in March, but hopefully it will continue to sell for months and months, providing funds for people on a long-term basis.” —\u003ci\u003eTracy Chevalier\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“It is a privilege to be in a position to offer our services in the name of such unfathomable need and it has been heartening to witness the quick and universal support of authors, publishers, agents, and booksellers.” —\u003ci\u003eKaren Rinaldi, Bloomsbury USA Publisher and Editorial Director\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781596910546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40594006343886,"sku":"9781596910546","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_c6a93d8f-c1db-4dd1-8cfa-c3d53a2ba62f.jpg?v=1637798621","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781596910546","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
