Below are photos and extracts from and
about Gervase Phinn's acclaimed Theatre Tour.
One of Britain's most popular writers and performers best known
for his 4 autobiographical novels Up and Down in the
Dales, The Other Side of The Dale, Over Hill and
Dale and Head Over Heels In The Dales.

Gervase Phinn shares his hilarious tales of life
as a school inspector in the Yorkshire Dales which
will have you in stitches. Dubbed 'The James Herriot
of schools' this best selling author, Radio and TV
personality is not to be missed.

"A natural storyteller, he combines the timing of
the professional comedian with palpable warmth and
the ability to deliver a message that is just more
than a series of jokes" - The Times

“I owe, as I’ve always said in life, any success I’ve had
to people. It started with my parents. My mother used to
read to me, my father used to tell stories – White Fang and
Moonfleet – and he’d take me to the library in Rotherham,
he’d go to the market and pick up old paperbacks. So, as a
child, I used to read avidly anywhere - behind the garden
shed, in summer on the lawn, up a tree, in bed at night
under the covers with my torch. I couldn’t get my nose out
of a book and the more you practise something, the better
you become at it. If you read and read, you know a lot about
language and on the back of reading is writing."

“My university tutor at Leeds, Dr Cowell, said ‘if you
want to be a writer, you’ve got to do two things – read,
read and read and you’ve got to keep a notebook and write
things down, which was great advice. One of the best bits of
advice to give is ‘keep a diary of events and things that
happen’.

Words of wisdom:
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior
motives.
- Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you’ll win some false friends and
true enemies.
- Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.
- Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy
overnight.
- Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
- Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
- Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be
enough.
- Give it anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it’s between you and God.
- It was never between you and them anyway.
