Comedienne will sign her first novel

ACTOR and comedian Dawn French be stopping off in Bristol to sign copies of her new book.


Known for her work with comedy partner Jennifer Saunders and appearing in Vicar Of Dibley, French has written her first novel, A Tiny Bit Marvellous.


She will be visiting WHSmith in The Mall, Cribbs Causeway, at 1.30pm on Wednesday for the book-signing.


A Tiny Bit Marvellous follows the publication of French's memoir Dear Fatty, which sold more than 600,000 hardback copies.


The novel is billed as a story of a modern family lurching towards meltdown.


French, who also appeared in Jam And Jerusalem and Larkrise To Candleford, described writing the book as a labour of love.
