Another riotous year in the life of Ragley-in the-Forest village school.
Jack Sheffield was born in 1945 and grew up in the tough
environment of Gipton Estate, in North East Leeds. After a job as a
'pitch boy', repairing roofs, he became a Corona Pop Man before
going to St John's College, York, and training to be a teacher. In
the late seventies and eighties, he was a headteacher of two
schools in North Yorkshire before becoming Senior Lecturer in
Primary Education at Bretton Hall near Wakefield. It was at this
time that he began to record his many amusing stories of village
life portrayed in Teacher, Teacher!, his first novel. Mister
Teacher is his second novel and continues the story of life in the
fictional village of Ragley-on-the-Forest. His new book, Dear
Teacher, will be published in early 2009. Jack Sheffield lives in
York and Hampshire.
