Hilarious
anecdotes
Gervase
Phinn continues to delight us with further stories from his days
as a school inspector in another enchantingly funny book 'Head Over
Heels in the Dales'.
It
is a real pleasure to read the hilarious anecdotes one does get
when working with children.
Gervase
tells them with such warmth and wit, which only wets the appetite
to hear more.
About
the story
In
this book the old characters are all there, the formidable Connie
from the Staff Development Centre.
The
snarling arrogance of Mrs Savage. The long drawn out wisdom according
to Sidney and the Welsh wit of David.
We
also learn about the mysterious personal life of their new colleague
Geraldine.
There
is a surprising turn of events as Harold makes an announcement to
the team.
We
hear about the events leading up to his marriage to the beautiful
Miss Bentley and the home they purchased, in the idyllic Yorkshire
Dales, not to mention the upheaval they had before moving in.
Will
Gervase get a chance of promotion? That's the question on everyone's
lips at County Hall.
Best
of all though are the accounts of Gervase's meeting with the many
children of Yorkshire and their innocent childish requests which
Gervase writes about in a hilarious manner.
Commendation
Once
you pick up this book you will not be able to put it down and I
advise you to get your hanky out if you are like me and the tears
fall when laughing a lot.
It
is good to find such a touching and amusing read about everyday
life without the trauma and heartache which is often portrayed these
days.
I feel
I know Mr. Phinn personally and I look forward to reading further
anecdotes from him.
