OVER HILL AND DALE (BOOK 2) (PB)

'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. 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 as soon as someone tells him what they are. And he is still in pursuit of the lovely headteacher Christine Bentley – but will she return his interest?
