Speaking with the Angel is a collection of short stories, edited by Nick Hornby

Hear the Prime Minister explain to the House why he did a runner from Greenford Park service station and hitched a lift with a fifteen-year-old girl, as imagined by Robert Harris. Listen to someone who has a small hostile creature in his room, as told by Roddy Doyle.

Twelve voices, twelve completely new stories, narrated by twelve different characters. And all written by twelve of the most exciting and popular writers around: Robert Harris, Melissa Bank, Giles Smith, Patrick Marber, Colin Frith, Zadie Smith, Dave Eggers, Helen Fielding, Roddy Doyle, Irvine Welsh, John O'Farrell and Nick Hornby himself.

This sparkling collection has been put together by bestselling novelist Nick Hornby, who also contributes an Introduction about TreeHouse, an organisation that offers a unique and pioneering approach to the education of children with autism. £1 will go to TreeHouse with every copy sold of Speaking with the Angel.

Nick Hornby is the bestselling author of nine novels, including High Fidelity, About a Boy, and Just Like You, as well as several works of nonfiction including Fever Pitch. His books have sold over 3.5 million copies in the UK, and many have been turned into successful films and TV series. He has been Oscar-nominated twice for his screenplays, and his TV work has won three Emmys. His work has been translated into more than 40 languages. He lives in London.
