’[Gervase Phinn is] a worthy successor to James Herriott, and every bit as endearing.’ - bestselling author Alan Titchmarsh
Newly qualified teacher Tom Dwyer has been given his first post in Risingdale, a sleepy little village at the very top of the Yorkshire Dales.

With pupils who know more about sheep than they do arithmetic, Tom has his work cut out for him.
