Over Hill and Dale is the second volume in Gervase Phinn's 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 is 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'. In Over Hill and Dale, Gervase Phinn will have you laughing out loud. 'Gervase Phinn's memoirs have made him a hero in school staff-rooms' Daily Telegraph Gervase Phinn is an author and educator from Rotherham who, after teaching for fourteen years in a variety of schools, moved to North Yorkshire to be a school inspector. He has written autobiographies, novels, plays, collections of poetry and stories, as well as a number of books about education. He holds five fellowships, honorary doctorates from Hull, Leicester and Sheffield Hallam universities, and is a patron of a number of children's charities and organizations. He is married with four adult children. His books include The Other Side of the Dale, Over Hill and Dale, Head Over Heels in the Dales, The Heart of the Dales, Up and Down in the Dales and Trouble at the Little Village School.

I read this a few years ago and really enjoyed it.

This is on its way to Germany as part of Deltic's Yorkshire Day Exchange.
Hope you enjoy my Yorkshire "goodies" :-)

Oh dear! I just realised I failed to make a journal entry for this book.
Well, it arrived safely several weeks back, and it brought gorgeous gifts to bribe me with, so I'm bumping it right to the top of Mt tbr now. :)
Thank you, yorkshire-lass! This looks like you made just the right choice for me. :)

Reserved as a wishlist tag for Icila.

I have no idea what it is with me and this book, but I just can't seem to get into it. It does really tick all the boxes as far as my reading tastes are concerned, and I can't put my finger on any major flaw, but it just doesn't "click".
Maybe I should have read the first part to help me get a handle on the number of names that I found a little confusing, but at the same time I don't think the lack of some background information was what spoiled my enjoyment of this book.
Most likely it just wasn't the right time and place, but since I've promised this to Icila as a wishlist tag, I'll let it go unfinished.

In the mail to France.
Enjoy! :)

The book is now with me. Than you !

A delightful trip over Hill and Dale in the so beautiful Yorkshire, I have to return there some day with a good map.

Sending to iwillrejoice in USA as a wishlist RABCK. Enjoy the Yorkshire !
