 Crying with laughter August 5, 2007

As always Gervase Phinn does it again. I spent less than a week reading this thoroughly good book. All the familiar characters are back and a few new little gems along the way. Connie, Julie, Mrs Savage, plus an array of wonderful children and the things 'kids say'! Throughout it though there are elements to make you think, and perhaps look at life differently. This book will make you cry with laughter, it did me and when you are in bed anyone listening would have wondered what was happening! I hope this isn't the last book Gervase writes in the 'Dales' series - you have so much more I am sure. Write another one!!
Hopefully more books to come August 3, 2007

I laughed the whole way through this wonderful book. As ever Gervase entertains us continually as we welcome old friends back into our lives. It would be a pity if there were not a few more books in this series. Keep up the good work Gervase..they only get better.

Gervase Phinn continues to delight in his latest offering The Heart Of The Dales. Still working as a school inspector his tales of the bluntness and honestness of the Yorkshire children will have you once more in stitches, especially when he goes to see a version of the Nativity Play written by the children and performed in Yorkshire dialect, with lines like "Hey up,Joseph". I thoroughly recommend this book.

This is a very entertaining book. I Laughed all the way through it.I have read all of the dales series and they are all as good as each other can,t wait for the next one.keep writing Gervase . If you get the chance to see Mr Phinn doing his theatre tour he is just as funny live.

This is a very welcome return to the Yorkshire Dales and the people - both young and old - who inhabit them. This book is imbued with the love, laughter, hardship, tears and honesty that his previous books have been filled with.
"Mester Phinn" is a very good story-teller and has an easy style about his writing. The love he has for the people and places he writes about is thee for all to see. The characters and characterisations are as colourful and fulsome as in his previous outings.
This book is a wonderful way to spend a pleasant few hours after a hard day at work, or just a good book to become lost in at any time of the day.
The ending has the feeling of the last in the series, although there are one or two 'loose ends' that could do with being tied up in (at least) one more book. I, for one, would be more than happy is another in the series was to come along in the not too distant future.
Finally . . . how about a TV series based on the series. If done properly and with due respect to the books, then it could be a sure-fire winner!!
Very much recommended - to young and old. Guaranteed to have you laughing and crying with the best of them. sometimes at the same time!
