Out of the Woods But Not Over the Hill by Gervase Phinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Over the years I’ve read several books by Gervase. My first was Up and Down in the Dales. I love his tales from Yorkshire and his life as a teacher and then a school inspector. The Yorkshire dialect and humour is brilliant and funny, I’m always laughing out loud when I read his books. This book combines anecdotes and memories as well as a few personal opinions and Yes! I was still laughing.
