Book description

Gervase Phinn is back with his tales of life as a schools inspector in Yorkshire.

His colourful cast of characters have now become firm favourites - the mostly mad staff at County Hall as well as the children themselves who find ways of embarrassing the school inspectors with innocent ease. We reconvene with Christine Bentley, head teacher of Winnery Nook School and now Gervase's wife and mother of their son, the well-named Mrs Savage and not forgetting the Queen of Clean Connie.

Gervase Phinn has an extraordinary talent to entertain, and the latest instalment to the Dale Series is heart-warming, wry and will make you laugh out loud.

Gervase Phinn is now nationally recognised as a bestselling author, following the immense success of his books The Other Side of the Dale , Over Hill and Dale, Up and Down in the Dales and Head Over Heels in the Dales , all of which have been top ten bestsellers. He is also the author of the hugely successful A Wayne in a Manger . He is married with four children and lives near Doncaster.
