'Freedom to Express Yourself' - an inspirational notebook

"The pen is mightier than the sword"
Edward Bulwer-Lytton

We have partnered with over 30 renowned artists, including Sir Quentin Blake, David Shrigley, Jean Jullien and Chris Riddell, to create Freedom to Express Yourself, a beautifully illustrated notebook that celebrates our right to freedom of expression.

Alongside the inspiring illustrations and quotes, the notebook features an afterword by Amnesty supporter and fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, plus plenty of empty space for you to express yourself with your own drawings, musings, to-do lists and doodles. It’s a great gift for anyone and everyone.
