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 chool 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...

Small criticism, foreword written on same day as 1st chapter states chestnut trees bare but in chapter 1 says that those trees are green and fully loaded with fruit. Too picky?
