Dwayne Fields

Dwayne Fields is an explorer, presenter, author and Chief Scout in the UK.

Together with our host Rachel Parris (BAFTA-nominated comedian, actor, author), Dwayne reveals (at least) three children's books that have helped shape him into who he is today.

Delivering not quite the soundtrack of his life, but the literary yarns that knit it together. A kind of "desert-island-children's-book" show.

Three books:

• Childhood favourite - the book that shaped who they are today, a little window into their childhood
• Shared book - an important book, read with someone significant today
• Gift to the future - a title to donate to The Children's Book Project, inspiring a future generation

Brought to you by The Children's Book Project - the Queen's Award-winning national charity that takes your pre-loved, unwanted children’s books and gives them to families with few, if any, of their own.

Just by listening, you help us achieve our goal - to eliminate book poverty in children.
