Synopsis from Amazon
Gervase Phinn is a school inspector in Yorkshire, including the Yorkshire Dales. He chronicles in this book his appointment to the local school inspectorate and then stories of various visits made, with a background cast of brilliant characters such as the chief school inspector, the dazzling secretary who is always getting things wrong, the local aristrocrat who is head of the school governors, potty schoolteachers who should have gone out to grass years ago, and divine children with superb Yorkshire humour.

Journal Entry 2 by wingCassiopaeiawing from Cardiff, Wales United Kingdom on Monday, March 12, 2007
I almost released this at the OBCZ without reading it. But having read a couple of more serious books in the last few months I decided I needed something on the lighter side. Gervase Phinn was the right man for the job. The writing here is excellent, no sentimentality, just lovely humour and observation, it all moves at good pace and is rounded off just at the right point, leaving you thinking, 'I hope there will be more to come.' I hope the next reader enjoys it.
