The Little Village School

3.9/5 ( ratings)

Elisabeth Devine is something of a mystery. Why should a highly successful head teacher of an inner-city primary school move to a small rural school in the Yorkshire Dales to face so many challenges? There are the declining number of pupils and the poor state of the building for a start and then there are the disparaging former head teacher, the gloomy caretaker and the amorous chair of governors to contend with. Those in the village are intrigued by the appearance of the new young and attractive head teacher and gossip is rife. Gervase Phinn's novel is peopled with his usual cast of colorful characters, comic situations, and, of course, the delightful and sometimes taxing children.
