Big Night Out

An exciting new collection of over thirty short stories interspersed with illustrations, cocktail recipes and lists of songs for a guaranteed BIG NIGHT OUT and set to repeat the phenomenal success of Girls' Night In and Girls' Night Out/Boys' Night In.

Following on from the bestselling anthologies Girls' Night In and Girls' Night Out/Boys' Night In comes the biggest collection yet in aid of the international charity War Child.

The theme is literally a BIG NIGHT OUT – any time, any place.

The anthology will feature approximately 35 short stories and some special features to punctuate the stories – illustrations, lists of songs for a big night out and cocktail recipes. Those already lined up include Kathy Lette, Candace Bushnell, Nick Hornby, Glen Baxter, Boy George, Julian Clary, Helen Lederer, Jenny Eclair, Gordon Ramsay, Marian Keyes.

Once again, all the contributors involved will provide their story/recipe/illustration etc. gratis, and HarperCollins will donate a least £1 to War Child for every copy sold, continuing the amazing work for children in war zones whose lives have been torn apart by conflict.
