Cargando... Out of the Woods But Not Over the Hillpor Gervase Phinn
![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() A humorous and pleasant book that like all Gervase Phinn books leave you laughing out loud at homes, and not able to help yourself! However, I prefer his Dales series as I felt this book was too bitty, whereas The Dales series book tell a story and have more flow. One or two scenes from The Dales series ended up in these memoirs. Certainly worth a read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
For Gervase Phinn growing old is not about a leisurely walk to the pub for a game of dominoes or snoozing in his favourite armchair. As this sparkling collection of his very best humorous writing shows, he may be 'out of the woods' but he is certainly not 'over the hill'. 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-Yorkshirelike of names or describing why loud mobile phone users get his goat. Brimming with nostalgia, gently mocking life's absurdities, never shy of an opinion, this is Gervase Phinn at his wittiest, twinkly-eyed best. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
