Up and down in the dales-book review

This is an incredibly peaceful, realistic and humorous book.

Simply written about a normal man’s life this book impressed me abundantly.

Gervase Phinn is a very talented storyteller; the way he paints an image of the scenery, the beauty of England and the fascinating description of the schools is amazing.


It is a pleasant story about the life of a school inspector and is full of innocent and sincere humor.

It was just what I needed. A rainy day a calming book and a cup of coffee is my fad.

It was very refreshing to read something with no phony plots and artificiality, though some would find it boring, I think it was wonderful.

The element that I enjoyed the most was how the author has written about conversations with the children. I’m looking forward to reading his other books which I hear are just as pleasurable.
