Authors including Paula Hawkins, Nick Hornby, Dolly Alderton, Tracy Chevalier, Philippa Gregory, David Nicholls, Jojo Moyes and Mark Haddon are backing Oxfam's #BooksChangeLives campaign, donating the books that 'changed their lives' to raise funds for the charity, and encouraging people to do the same at their local Oxfam shop.

The charity's Trading Director, Andrew Horton, commented 'Oxfam is so grateful for this overwhelming show of support by so many talented and generous people in the book world... These valuable book donations and the sales they generate, really will change the lives of people who desperately need help for good'.
