I’ll be deep in the Celtic heartlands to celebrate World Book Day this Thursday, taking Ruso and Tilla to Ilfracombe Library. Dug the Iron Age Man (not a character, but a facial reconstruction) will be there too. There will be an element of suspense to the proceedings, for me if not for everyone else, as I foolishly said I would dress up in Roman Lady kit and am now wondering whether I will get through the evening without falling over it.

To find out, join us at 6.30 pm. Tickets are £2 and you...
