ABOUT THE VIDEOS
To promote the survey we invited people from the world of education to talk about the books that have most influenced them.

They spoke passionately about the books that have moved and motivated them - and many revealed their chosen books have had a profound effect on their lives.

A big thank-you to all of them for taking the time to talk to us.
