Ellen MacArthur's 6 best books

Ellen MacArthur broke the record for the fastest solo circumnavigation of the world in 2005.

In 2003, she established The Ellen MacArthur Trust to take young people aged between 8-18 sailing to help them regain their confidence, on their way to recovery from cancer, leukemia and other serious illness. Her new book is Full Circle.

MacArthur named her six best books for the Daily Express. One title on her list:
RED DOG
by Louis de Bernieres

I've got dogs of my own and this book is a true story about an amazing pooch - inspired by a statue the author saw on his travels in Australia. It's a novel that will appeal to everyone whether they're dog-lovers or not.
