Over Hill and Dale By Gervase Phinn

Back Cover:

"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 calmly getting out his notebook and
pen provokes unexpected reactions from children and adults alike. He
finds himself unwillingly playing the stooge to Mrs. Peterson's class
of juniors, confronting Mr. Swan, whose hunger for lunchtime exceeds
his appetite for English, and alarmingly disarmed by a pupil unsure
whether he is learning French or German.

But Gervase is far from daunted. He is still in pursuit of lovely head
teacher Christine Bentley; 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.

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.
