Summary
Further veterinary tales from the Yorkshire Dales
The fifth volume of memoirs from the author who inspired the BBC series All Creatures Great and Small.
During his decades spent as a country vet in Yorkshire, James Herriot has seen huge advances in medical science, technological leaps, and a world irrevocably changed by war. Yet some things have always stayed the same – gruff farmers, hypochondriac pet owners, and animals that never do quite what you expect them to.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
Bulls with sunstroke, pigs on the run and a cake-eating Peke with a betting habit … I grew up reading James Herriot’s book and I’m delighted that thirty years on they are still every bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were then – Kate Humble
Herriot’s enchanting tales of life in the Dales are deservedly classics. Full of extraordinary characters, animal and human, the books never fail to delight – Amanda Owen, bestselling author of The Yorkshire Shepherdess
The attraction of Herriot’s ever popular memoirs of a country vet … is their alternating highs and lows, humour and pathos, and gripping anecdotes about delivering lambs, grumpy farmers, hypochondriac pet-owners, stroppy cows and blunt Yorkshire characters * Daily Mail *
