The creator of hit TV show Gavin and Stacey met fans to talk about her new book.

Comedian, actor and author Ruth Jones  joined the Mostly Books team in Abingdon on Thursday for a book signing event.

The event was hosted to celebrate Ms Jones' new book 'Love Untold', which was originally published in September last year but the paperback copy was released on July 6.

The novel is about four generations of Welsh women and tells the story of them navigating their complex relationships and trying to heal a family rift.

Ms Jones is also famous for her work for Little Britain, Stella and Saxondale and has appeared in Eastenders, Agatha Christie's Marple and Midsomer Murders.

Mostly Books owner, Sarah Dennis, said: "It was great to see so many people at the event.

"Ruth was a delight and Nell did a brilliant job of interviewing her."
The event took place at the Barns Café and Ms Jones was interviewed by author Nell Frizzell.

Mostly Books, in Stert Street, is an award winning independent bookshop which lies in the heart of Abingdon and a small number of signed copies of Ms Jones' book remain in the store.

The shop was named Best Independent Bookshop in the South East of England in 2023 and was awarded bookshop of the year in 2019 by the national book wholesalers Bertrams.
