About this listen

She was wearing red shoes! With silver heels! Elisabeth Devine causes quite a stir on her arrival in the village. No one can understand why the head of a big inner city school would want to come to sleepy little Barton-in-the-Dale, to a primary with more problems than school dinners. And that's not even counting the challenges the mysterious Elisabeth herself will face: a bitter former head teacher, a grumpy caretaker, and a duplicitous chair of governors, to name but a few. Then there's the gossip. After all, a woman who would wear red shoes to an interview is obviously capable of anything….

Warm, funny and poignant, Gervase Phinn's first novel for adults creates a fictional world that's as real as can be. It will delight all his fans, and win him many more.

absolutely loved this sweet, simple tale. Great characters, lovely plot, just what I need in my hectic, rushed life. So excited to have found a new author, who has a bunch of books already written for me to enjoy! And even better - the amazing narration is actually the author himself!

my new favourite series

What a joy to listen to. The performance is perfect. Its fun and quite funny in parts. The story is on local characters and their activities. It would fit nicely into the Young Adults section and is not unlike the Miss Read books.

Quite A Joy!
