Ox-Tales is a set of four compelling and collectible books; each themed on one of the elements. Fire features stories by Mark Haddon; Geoff Dyer; Victoria Hislop; Sebastian Faulks; John le Carré; Xiaoulu Guo; William Sutcliffe; Ali Smith; Lionel Shriver and Jeanette Winterson; and a poem by Vikram Seth. The idea behind Ox-Tales is to raise money for Oxfam and along the way to highlight the charity’s work in project areas: agriculture in Earth; water projects in Water; conflict aid in Fire; and climate change in Air.
