Celebs pen children's charity book

A host of celebrities are putting pen to paper to create a special enchanted tale for children. Once Upon A Time will see each star write 10 lines before passing the pen to the next contributor. The literary creation is being penned in support of a new charity directory inquiries number - 118 520 - supporting the NSPCC. And the story begins in a magical realm dreamt up by Blur's bass player Alex James. A total of 52 celebs are set to take part over the course of the year, including KT Tunstall, Linford Christie and fashion designer Henry Holland. The tale is expected to be completed by October when the book will be read out in an exclusive reading. It will then be auctioned to raise funds for the NSPCC
