By Katy Ronkin

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York said she is 'thrilled' to support Nick Ferrari's new initiative to promote reading among early years children and raise awareness of literacy rates.

The new initiative, called 'Nick Ferrari's Kids Who Read Succeed,' is a series of free audiobooks, read by a host of well-known names, celebrating the work of Beatrix Potter, one of Britain's most loved children's authors.

Ms Ferguson said she was "delighted" to read Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Peter Rabbit aloud and "bring the book alive" for listeners.

Expressing gratitude to Nick and LBC for championing child literacy, she added that the project will inspire hope by encouraging "imagination not just of children, but of parents, of granny, grandpa, uncles and aunts and everybody else."
