Book description
From the Sunday Times bestselling author Gervase Phinn comes a fourth
book of reminiscences about life as a Yorkshire Dales school inspector
that will continue to delight and charm fans across the globe. Life for
the Gervase Phinn is about to become not unlike the rambling hills of
the Dales themselves - up and down and all over the place. After a
routine school inspection - and a rather brutal report - culminates with
a teacher being forced into early retirement, Gervase is left feeling
his year hasn't exactly begun on the right foot. Then the news that his
local school is closing down, the accidental demolishment of an
historical church (disguised as a disused barn in his backyard), and an
injured knee which puts him into hospital. And still Gervase manages to
gallantly retain his sense of humour throughout, making this a
delightful, charming and thoroughly entertaining read.
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 and Head Over Heels in the Dales, all of which have
been top ten bestsellers. They have been read on Radio 4, sold a half
a million copies in paperback, and television rights have now been
sold to TigerAspect.
He is married with four children and lives near Doncaster.
