A life size cardboard cut-out of Gavin and Stacey star Ruth Jones is catching the eye of people walking along Ripon's Westgate.

On Saturday afternoon, from 12.30, the Welsh actor and best-selling author can be seen in real life at The Little Ripon Bookshop, where she will sign copies of her third novel, Love Untold.

Simon Edwards, who owns and runs the shop with his wife, Gill, told the Stray Ferret:

"We are receiving a lot of pre-orders for the book from people who are looking forward to meeting Ruth and it promises to be an exciting day.
"Many of those who will be coming to the signing previously bought her other books Never Greener and Us Three."


The newly published Love Untold, which tells the story of four generations of the same family, is already earning rave reviews for the warmth with which it is written.

It follows Ms Jones's debut novel Never Greener, a number one best seller whose central storyline focuses on the destructive effects of a love affair.

Us Three described by fellow comedy actor Dawn French as 'a touching celebration of the beauty and endurance of female friendship' topped the Sunday Times charts.

Mr Edwards, said:

"We have copies of all three books available and are anticipating a busy time, because Saturday is also Bookshop Day.
"After Ruth's visit, we are hosting The Great North Author Tour, when eight top children’s authors will be present from 4:45pm to meet children and sign books."


The authors on the tour are Vashti Hardy, James Nicol, James Harris, Sally Nicholls, Lysette Auton, Alex Foulkes, Beth Walker and Dan Smith.
