Authors Philip Pullman, pictured, and Mark Haddon have signed an online petition against Government restrictions on books being sent to prisoners.
The Oxford novelists have joined a call on Ministry of Justice minister Chris Grayling to review a decision which means only letters and cards from family can be sent to prisoners.
So far, more than 14,000 people have also signed the online petition on change.org
