 Mister Teacher November 17, 2008
What an absolute delight of a book. I felt as if I was one of the villagers as I got to know the characters so well. My Christmas list of gifts to purchase just got a whole lot easier. Now can't wait for the next book to be published. If you've never been to Yorkshire, let Mr Teacher take you there, enjoy the surroundings and the characters and don't forget Bettys for Afternoon Tea!

A thoughtful, poignant and at times totally amusing read. The pace of the story is perfect and the characters are truly convincing. I look forward expectantly to see how this series continues. Well done, 'Mister Sheffield'- excellent work!

This is a lovely book, beautifully written with wonderful comic touches and some very touching moments. The characters are engaging, the setting superb and the reminders of a lost era are scattered throughout. I have now got to read the first and can't wait to see whether Jack chooses Laura or Beth! Many moments are laugh out loud funny and it's all very gentle and evocative. More please.
A very good read October 13, 2008

Being born and bred in God's Own Country, and proud of it, I was sceptical of Mr. Sheffield's blurb. After Page 1 of "Teacher, Teacher", however, I was well and truely hooked. Yorkshire humour has to be the hardest thing in the world to transpose to paper, but Mr. Sheffield manages it effortlessly. The characters live and breathe, and, more importantly, I cared about them. I was transported back to my own brief years in "Infant & Junior School", and with the hindsight of maturity, recognised both myself and some of my teachers. I could not wait to read "Mr. Teacher",and devoured it within a day. Mr. Sheffield does not disappoint with his sequal, except for the very last page..... he makes us wait for his decision about Beth!!!! I have pre-ordered #3 and just wish it was out for Christmas. Mr. Sheffield (I cannot call him Jack, he's a Teacher) made me laugh until I cried. I also cried until I laughed.
Unique, poignant and ultimately real, I urge everyone to read,buy, beg, steal or borrow these books. Pure b****y genius.
