A memoir of lessons and life in the Yorkshire Dales... Warm,
touching and very funny, All Teacher's Great and Small transports
you to a time that may be gone but has never been forgotten. Andy
Seed's memoir is sure to charm fans of Jack Sheffield and Gervase
Phinn's nostalgic style. 'Heart-warming and hilarious' - Daily Mail
Dear Mr Seed, I am sorry that are Jack was not at school yesterday.
He put on such a groth spurt in the night that nun of his clowthes
fitted im next morning so I had to take him to the shops. Mrs R.
Twenty-five years ago, newly qualified teacher Andy Seed moved to a
remote village in the Yorkshire Dales with his wife Barbara,
anticipating breath-taking views and the gentle simplicity of the
countryside. The picturesque scenery did not disappoint. But life
as a primary school teacher was anything but simple. With a
classroom full of colourful characters whose capacity for
misunderstanding was exceeded only by their enthusiasm and their
ability to leave him incredulous, Andy fell in love with teaching
and with village life. All Teachers Great and Small tells the true
story of Andy's first year at Cragthwaite Primary School - how he
bravely negotiated the vagaries of the local dialect, made
disastrous bids to provide a family home, naively and hilariously
tried out new-fangled ideas in a school stuck in a 1950s time warp,
and ultimately discovered a little part of England he was proud to
call home. What readers are saying about All Teachers Great and
Small: 'I howled with laughter on many occasions reading this book
- it's a treasure!' 'Andy Seed brings the Dales to life with his
memorable stories about rural school life in the 1980s. I loved
this book' 'This book spoke to me on so many levels. It really is a
jolly good read, and written with love and enthusiasm'
