A glorious book' Times Literary Supplement 'Shh, new vicar might be listening . . .'As the newly appointed vicar, David was looking forward to working in the picturesque market town of Helmsley, set in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. Admittedly, the vicarage - which dated back to the twelfth century - was extremely cold and damp. And not all of his parishioners were impressed by his new-fangled ways. But with the help of the irrepressible Father Bert, a retired cleric and one-time tail-end Charlie, David set about winning over the townsfolk.There was Lord Feversham, the local landowner, who at times bore an unnerving resemblance to Henry VIII, fiery Ted, a retired chef who had fought with the Polish Free Army, Frank, the singing shepherd, still working as he approached eighty, and redoubtable countrywoman Eva, a font of wisdom. All had stories of hardship and sacrifice, friendship and love. Charming and moving, Shepherd of Another Flock shows that faith, laughter and joy can be found in the unlikeliest of places.'Written with all the warmth and gentle humour that we've come to expect from the like of James Herriot and Gervase Phinn' The Press
