Continuing where THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DALE ended, Gervase Phinn begins his second year as a Yorkshire schools inspector. Many of the colourful characters from the first book reappear - the mostly mad staff at County Hall, the teachers who have the daunting task of educating the children using methods ranging from compulsion to cajolement, and of course the children themselves whose innocent (?) remarks make this book such a joy to read. When Gervase's colleagues rag him unmercifully about his faraway look whenever the name of Christine Bentley is mentioned, he realises he has to take remedial action. Gervase Phinn has an extraordinary talent to entertain, and OVER HILL AND DALE will make you laugh out loud.

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.
