A CHATTERIS author and artist is releasing his first non-fiction book.
Richard Savage’s book “Beauty in Every Form” aims to answer the complex question ‘What is beauty?’
Contributors include photographers, artists, poets, academics, publishers, students, health workers, writers, models and dancers.
He has spoken to people from alternative life styles and people who have disfigurements and disabilities.
He said: “It is my belief that beauty is all around us every day, in the faces and bodies of both young and old. “I believe it transcends cultures, religions, ethnicity and social status.
