Jane has been asked to deliver a lecture on Nanteos, its people and history, in April.

​

Mae Nanteos, un o’r tai mwyaf nodedig yn Sir Aberteifi, wedi denu pobl o bedwar ban byd. Mae’r plasty’n frith o ddirgelion a chwedlau: ceir sôn am drysor coll, a’r cwpan enwog sy’n iacháu pobl. Ochr yn ochr â darnau o’i nofel ddiweddaraf, sydd wedi'i seilio yn y 1750au yn ystod y gwrthdaro mawr yn niwydiant plwm Sir Aberteifi, bydd yr awdur Jane Blank yn rhoi bywyd newydd i hanes y tÅ· rhyfeddol hwn a’i drigolion.

As one of the most important houses in Cardiganshire, Nanteos has attracted people from around the world. The mansion is rich in mystery and legend: from lost treasure to the famous healing cup. With extracts from her latest novel, set in the 1750s during the notorious Cardiganshire lead wars, author Jane Blank brings this fascinating house and its people to life.
