About this listen

It's 1980: recession and unemployment have hit Britain, a royal wedding is on the way, and the whole country is wondering Who shot JR? As Jack returns for his fourth year at Ragley-on-the Forest School, there's a definite chill in the air. Village schools are being closed down all over the place - will his be one of them?

As school life continues - Vera, the school secretary, has to grapple with a new-fangled electric typewriter, Ruby celebrates 10 years as the school cleaner, and the village panto throws up some unusual problems. Jack wonders what the future holds....

Brilliant.

The series gets better with every book as you get to know more about each character. Highly recommended.

didn't like the narrator, not the same as author

I preferred the authors voice, he gives it more character and more enjoyable listening along
