About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Happiest Days, written and read by Jack Sheffield.

It’s 1986 and Jack Sheffield returns to Ragley village school for his tenth rollercoaster year as headteacher.

It’s the year of Margaret Thatcher’s third election victory, Dynasty and shoulder pads, Neighbours and a Transformer for Christmas. And at Ragley-on-the-Forest School, a year of surprises is in store. Ruby the Caretaker find happiness at last, Vera the Secretary makes an important decision, a new teacher is appointed and a disaster threatens the school.

Meanwhile Jack receives unexpected news, and is faced with the biggest decision of his career . . .

This book brought the memory of starting my teaching career back in vivid clarity, the good and bad, the pupils I can recognise. Wonderful times tinged with sadness of pre school curriculum days when it wasn't so rigid

This series of books cover the author’s career in a village Primary School, before the introduction of The National Curriculum. I taught in a Devon village school around that time (1977-1986) so the book brought back so many memories for me from those days. I can’t wait to start the next one in the series.
