World Book Day began in Catalonia, some 80 years ago when roses and books were given as gifts to loved ones on St George’s Day, and by 2003 was designated by UNESCO as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, and was marked in more than 30 countries.
World Book Day takes place in March as a partnership of publishers, booksellers and others who promote books and reading for the enrichment and enjoyment of all.
