Dolly Parton is setting up a UK office to cope with the demand for free books from her children's literacy scheme, reports Contact Music.
The country star launched the pre-school literacy campaign in 2006, aiming to send every child under five a free book each month. It now runs in 45 US states, and has recently expanded to the UK.
Parton was shocked by the demand from people in Britain and has now opened up a UK branch in order to deal with all of the extra orders. She said: "With this exchange rate, if I had to keep shipping money from Tennessee to the UK, I would have to change the name of Dollywood to Dollywas."
