Product Description
A New Year at Ragley-on-the-Forest School...It's 1981, the time of Adam and the Ants, Rubik's Cube, the Sony Walkman and the Falklands War, as head teacher Jack Sheffield returns to Ragley-on-the-Forest School for another rollercoaster year. Vera, the ever-efficient school secretary, has to grapple with a new-fangled computer - and enjoys a royal occasion - while Ruby the caretaker rediscovers romance with a Butlin's Redcoat. And for Jack, wedding bells are in the air. But the unexpected is just round the corner...
About the Author
Jack Sheffield was born in 1945 and grew up in Leeds. After a job as a 'pitch boy', repairing roofs, he became a Corona Pop Man before going to St John's College , York , and training to be a teacher. In the late seventies and eighties he was a headteacher of two schools in North Yorkshire before becoming a Senior Lecturer in Education. It was at this time that he began to record his many amusing stories of village life which form the basis of his popular 'Teacher' novels. He lives in York and Hampshire.

This review is from: Please Sir! (Paperback)
Jack has the wonderful ability to make you feel a part of Ragley school, Ragley village and Bilbo Cottage. His books are refreshingly delightful. 'Please, Sir' keep them coming! I wait with nail-biting anticipation to discover how their lives had 'changed forever'.

Please Sir!, Aug 13 2011
By Carol Caswell "English Rose" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Please Sir! (Paperback)
The Fifth in the series, and each one great!Please Sir! has a cliff hanger ending,which hopefully means that there will be a sixth!
Hilarious yet heartwarming, and always poignant. It takes you back to your innocent, happy childhood, before puberty, and all the cares of adult life take over.

This review is from: Please Sir! (Paperback)
Another in the eminently readable and interesting stories of life as a Yorkshire Headteacher. All who remember their schooldays will remember some of the people and situations and will emphasize with them. Makes one feel young again
