A marvellous donation of 450 Roald Dahl books have been delivered to a Central Fife school.

The page-turning gift from Amazon in Dunfermline is aimed at encouraging youngsters at at Cardenden Primary to read.

Worth over £1,500, the donation comes from a partnership between the online retailer and the National Literacy Trust in 2024, with the goal of delivering books to schools across Scotland to increase literacy and reading levels.

A group of nine Amazon workers also visited the primary school to spend time with the pupils and encourage fun reading.

The Dunfermline fulfilment centre's manager, Jamie Strain, said: “Amazon in Dunfermline is home to many mums, dads and guardians of Cardenden Primary School pupils, so we know the teachers there care deeply for the children in their care.

"We couldn’t be happier to offer them this fun donation of Roald Dahl classics.

"Partnering with National Literacy Trust for donations like this will give us the opportunity to reach as many young children in Scotland as possible to inspire fun around reading and literacy.”

Amazon employee Christina Watson added: "I’ve always encouraged my children to read more when they were growing up, and I know that many other parents do too.

"Donations like this can really excite and encourage children to start venturing into the world of books independently, so thank you, Amazon in Dunfermline and National Literacy Trust, for coming up with this incredible scheme.”

Abbie, a pupil from Cardenden Primary School, was delighted with the new books.

“My friends and I love reading in the school library," she said. "I’m very excited to read the new Roald Dahl books – they’re my favourite!”
