Summary
She was wearing red shoes! With silver heels! Elisabeth Devine causes quite a stir on her arrival in the village. No one can understand why the head of a big inner city school would want to come to sleepy little Barton-in-the-Dale, to a primary with more problems than school dinners. And that's not even counting the challenges the mysterious Elisabeth herself will face: a bitter former head teacher, a grumpy caretaker, and a duplicitous chair of governors, to name but a few. Then there's the gossip. After all, a woman who would wear red shoes to an interview is obviously capable of anything….
Warm, funny and poignant, Gervase Phinn's first novel for adults creates a fictional world that's as real as can be. It will delight all his fans, and win him many more.

Brilliant
Fabulous light read - humorous and brought to life by the author himself. Thoroughly enjoyed this and will be listening to more written and read by him.

As a Yorkshire lass far from home this warms my heart.
Easy listening, with lovely characters, engaging and compelling. Charming characters. I'm loving the Yorkshire accents.

Mr. Phinn has done it again!
I discovered Gervase Phinn back in 1998 when I was given a copy of The Other Side of the Dale to read by a fellow traveller on a coach holiday to Scotland. I was about 18 at the time and found both his storytelling and style to be enrapturing.
With the Little Village School series I have rediscovered just what a great writer he is and have been really impressed with his delivery in the audiobooks.
I still prefer a good book but when I'm driving or lounging about at night and trying not to wake my wife with a reading light, the audio editions are great. This is a touching and enjoyable story. One which you can imagine playing out in the real world.
Thank you Gervase!
