Over Hill and Dale
OVER HILL AND DALE accompanies Gervase Phinn during his second year as a school inspector in North Yorkshire. Some of the wonderful characters from his first book,THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DALE, re-appear, from Mrs Savage (by name and nature), to the endearing school governor Lord Marrick, and Christine Bently of Winnery Nook Nursery and Infant School. The real stars, of course, are the children themselves, whose innocent remarks make OVER HILL AND DALE such a joy.

Review:
"Gervase Phinn's memoirs have made him a hero in school staff-rooms." --Daily Telegraph
From the Back Cover:
THE SECOND VOLUME IN THE BESTSELLING DALES SERIES
'Miss, who's that funny man at the back of the classroom?
So begins school-inspector Gervase Phinn's second year among the frankly spoken pupils and teachers of North Yorkshire - the sight of Gervase with his notebook and pen provokes unexpected reactions from the children and adults alike.
But Gervase if far from daunted - he is ready to brave the steely glare of the officious Mrs Savage, and even feels up to helping Dr Gore organize a gathering of the Feofees - just as soon as someone tells him what they are! He is still in pursuit of the lovely headteacher Christine Bentley, but will she feel the same?
This is a delectable second helping of hilarious tales from the man who has been dubbed 'the James Herriot of schools'. It will have you laughing out loud.
