Year At St Yoricks

The bestselling author of the Sacred Diaries presents church newsletters that explore the intriguing world of parish life with humour and compassion. From struggling obituaries and blinkered book reviews to subtly vindictive reports on Ladies' Circle meetings, Plass' latest release is a must for all students of that most fascinating study of all - real life.

Another likely best-seller from Adrian Plass, A Year at St Yorick's will do for the Church of England what the Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass did for charismatic Christians. Remember the Sacred Diarist trying to take spiritual authority over a paper clip?
