Out of the woods but not over the hill

Out of the woods but not over the hill

Phinn, Gervase.
Large Print 2011

" ... Looking back over more than sixty years of family life, teaching, inspecting schools, writing and public speaking, Gervase never fails to unearth humour, character, warmth and wisdom from the most diverse of experiences, whether they be growing up in Rotherham with the most un-Yorkshire-like of names or describing why loud mobile phone users get his goat. ..." -- Back cover.
