The next book signing for ‘The Romans in the Vale of Glamorgan’ by author Karl-James Langford will be on Saturday, December 20. He will be signing copies at the WH Smith, Penarth from 10am until 4.30pm.

Come and hear from the very wacky author, who is also an actor. Maybe with the book you can by some 'Otter's noses', and some 'Fried Bats wings'.
