Publisher Comments:

Take an unforgettable journey through the English countryside and into the homes of its inhabitants-- four-legged and otherwise-- with the world's best-loved animal doctor.For over 25 years-- since All Creatures Great and Small was first published-- readers have delighted to the storytelling genius of James Herriot, the Yorkshire veterinarian whose fascinating vignettes brim with the wonder of life, animal and human.Whether struggling mightily to position a calf for birthing, or comforting a lonely old man whose beloved dog and only companion has died, Herriot's heartwarming and often hilarious stories of his first years as a country vet perfectly depict the wonderful relationship between man and animal-- and they intimately portray a man whose humor, compassion , and love of life are truly inspiring.

Perhaps I am a bit prejudiced, having grown up with James Herriot, but to this day there is nothing like curling up with a nice pot of tea, some biscuits, and settling in with Yorkshire and the country vet...So many stories told with such startling simplicity-it is easy to believe that the stories wrote themselves. But we know that they did not; they are the work of a very fine writer, one who knows how to work his way into your imagination until the characters and adventures become part of your own memories. A beautifully told collection which will have you laughing through your tears.
