Osmond Drake Opticians, in the heart of Penarth, will be welcoming the wonderful world of Roald Dahl's much-loved characters to their store, just in time for World Book Day on the 5th of March.

Osmond Drake explained what the event was all about in a recent blog post. They said: ''Scrumdiddlyumptious Specs for kids featuring Willy Wonka, Matilda, Fantastic Mr Fox, James & The Giant Peach & The BFG.

''This splendiferous collection is so colourful and features not only characters your children will love but well known story points such as the Everlasting Gobstoppers.

''There's a huge range available ensuring your children will find a pair they're going to love and enjoy wearing. Chocolate Mottle, Wonka Purple, Bug Green, Fox Brown, Genius Purple & Crocodile Khaki to name but a few of the colours available.

''Each pair of spectacles purchased from the range comes with its own Roald Dahl glasses case and Golden Ticket cloth! No excuse for the little ones not to keep their glasses clean.

''There's even a 3 frame book display available with the purchase of the full 18pc collection – Try to collect all 5 stories.''

You can pop into the store and take a look at this exciting new range.

Children under 16 years of age receive their eye-test for free, funded by the NHS. You can book an appointment on: 02920709526
