Out of the Woods but not Over the Hill

This collection of non-fiction by the bestselling author explores our everyday trials and tribulations as Phinn looks back at over 60 years of family life, teaching, inspecting schools, writing and public speaking. The pieces conclude with his sanguine and often hilarious ruminations on the challenges of growing older. Though the book is brimming with nostalgia, Phinn is never shy of giving an opinion.
