Publisher Comments:

Gervase Phinn "Your name sounds like a brand of French yogurt", someone tells him — is appointed to a school inspector in North Yorkshire. His stories, full of warmth, wisdom and wit, are brought together in this collection set against the backdrop of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.
