Short description
The first volume of the classic adventures and misadventures involving the young vet, James Herriot, in the Yorkshire Dales from 1937 onwards.
Review
Warm, wise and often deliciously funny, these omnibus editions of Herriot's celebrated memoirs provide an irresistible opportunity to wallow in rural nostalgia. Arriving in the Yorkshire village of Darrowby in the late 1930s, Herriot has little idea that, with the exception of his wartime service, he will spend the next 40 years here, ministering to the needs of creatures great and small. Both farcically funny and unexpectedly tender, these memoirs will delight animal-lovers everywhere. (Kirkus UK)
