My Pet Hate Book

Save the Children does not hate people but we do accept that our friends and supporters should hate lots of things from major malpractices to minor irritations. So we thought we would like to give them a chance to blow off their frustrations, entertain the public and help the Children all at once. Hence this book.We - and the Children - are immensely grateful to the formidable array of personalities who have responded so liberally to this initiative. We have a pretty formidable reputation ourselves as champions of the rights of all children, irrespective of their nationality, race or religion. With the expertise developed over more than fifty years, the Fund aims always to identify the areas of greatest need and to provide practical and effective help.The Save the Children Fund is deeply grateful to all those who have generously contributed to this book. By doing so they are actively helping the Fund to continue its compassionate and crusading work, which it will continue to do as long as need exists among the world’s children. - Introduction, by The Rt Hon. The Lord Gore-Booth
