Twentieth anniversary of World Book Day

Chris Hawkins celebrates the twentieth anniversary of World Book Day by asking listeners to create a soundtrack for JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Films all have soundtracks, so why not books?

Chris asks Early Breakfast Show listeners to create a soundtrack for J.K. Rowling's 'Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone'.

World Book Day is now in its 20th year, and is a celebration of authors, illustrators, books and most importantly reading. It is the biggest celebration of its kind, and is marked in over 100 countries. The aim is to encourage children to explore reading by giving them the chance to have a book of their own.
