Synopsis
To an untrained eye, the villages of rural Yorkshire may seem quiet enough but, as he patrols his beat on foot or on his trusty Francis Barnett motorcycle, young PC Nick is privy to many an unfolding drama. He is on hand to help out when Aidensfield decides to enter the Best Kept Village competition and finds itself the victim of a dirty tricks campaign by its rivals. Then there is the mystery of the spontaneously combusting henhouse, and PC Nick has to cope with the consequences when the vicar tries a novel way of keeping the churchyard tidy. "The Constable" stories are a delightful description of life as a young policeman in Yorkshire, and the inspiration behind the immensely popular Heartbeat TV series.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Yorkshire, the 1980s
In the spectacular North Yorkshire countryside, Constable Nick’s roles are as varied as the preoccupations of his often eccentric villagers.
He finds himself called upon as detective to recover lost sheep; as crime prevention officer to guard giant gooseberries; as legal adviser in the Best Kept Village competition, and sympathetic social worker to those in distress.
Constable Nick is invaluable.
His many hilarious anecdotes include a brush with some bright yellow pigs and the account of the invitation to be best man at a wedding because he had to arrest the groom's new mother-in-law.
Curious, funny and poignant, this reveals something of the rich diversity of village life and how Constable Nick continues to realise his place within it.
Constable in the Dale is a heartwarming and good-natured tale of into the relationship between a copper and his community.
