I have read all his books. I have loved all his books. Teacher, School Inspector, Public Speaker, Author, Poet and Patron of many charities for children, turns the story on himself in this book and it's told with all the humour and honesty of his tales about the straight talking Yorkshire schoolchildren of his previous books. Mr. Phinn is obviously one of those brilliant people who were BORN to teach, born to enlighten and encourage, born to tell stories, to write stories and to make people laugh and feel good about themselves. I hope the next book isn't too far away. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Best known for his hilarious and charming tales of life as a teacher and school inspector, Gervase Phinn gives a unique glimpse of his own childhood- of life growing up in a pre-war, red-brick house (with an inside loo) in Rotherham. Providing a magical portrait of growing up in 1950s Yorkshire, Gervase tells of his three siblings, mother and father; of adventurous school days and holidays; as well as his tentative steps into the adult world. There are also numerous uproarious and captivating stories- including an incident involving a broken greenhouse, crashing his brother's newly restored bike, as well as secrets about his first dates, family trips to Blackpool. With a wicked ear for the comical, and a sharp eye for detail, this beautifully written memoir visits poignant moments, significant events and precious memories from a boy called Gervase.
