FOR the fourth year running, Blackwell's Bookshop in Oxford is staging a 24 Days of Kindness event, starting on Thursday.

Every day, until December 24, a bookseller at the store in Broad Street will be giving away two books, one to a customer and one to a colleague of their choice, as an act of kindness.
