Abingdon Library’s first author event of 2024 is with Oxfordshire based journalist, broadcaster and author Neil Clark, who will be talking about his latest book. The Man Who Created King Kong tells the truly ‘Stranger than Fiction’ tale of British Writer and journalist Edgar Wallace, who rose from great poverty in Victorian England, to become the world’s best-selling author in the 1920s, before dying in Hollywood in 1932 at the very height of his success. Tickets, £2 inc. free glass of wine, available from Abingdon Library on 01235 520374 or email abingdon.library@oxfordshire.gov.uk.
