World Book Day 2025

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.

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

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.
