Gervase Phinn

**THIS IS A PAST EVENT**

Since the publication of The School at the Top of the Dale, Gervase’s series about a school inspector in Yorkshire has sold almost a million copies. And now he has written a delightful, new and very different novel, At the Captain’s Table. A summer cruise promises a few weeks of luxury and relaxation on board The Empress of the Ocean, but the sights of the Mediterranean are nothing compared to the excitements on board. Unlikely friendships are formed, feuds break out and as passengers jostle for a seat at the captain’s table, most plans go overboard. Gervase is a gifted, brilliant, funny raconteur who can hold audiences, as well as readers, spellbound.
