Nursing a broken heart after a romantic disappointment, he just wants to keep his head down and get on with his job. <p/> But it is not to be. A beautiful London artist sets tongues wagging when she moves into the village, and her precocious yet frail son is in Tom's class. On top of that, his colleague's malicious ex-husband is back, determined to create mischief, and a tragedy on one of the winding country roads sends the village reeling. And all this alongside a class of children who still seem to know more about farming than fractions. <p/><b>With its colourful mix of characters both old and new and its many laugh-out-loud moments, <i>Tales Out of School</i> is a warm, humorous portrayal of life in a small Yorkshire village.</b> <p/><b>Readers are loving TALES OUT OF SCHOOL: </b> <p/>'Loved it.
