James Herriot's love for animals shines through in these feel good stories of his life as a country vet in England. From taking care of kittens and puppies all the way up through large farm animals, Mr. Herriot always has an interesting anecdote and lesson it impart. His entire series are a pleasure to read.

One of my favorite authors! I love James Herriot. Each chapter is its own short story, with a common period of Herriot's life woven through the book (courtship, early marriage, etc.) Great for adults, and also great for kids. I'm honored to have found a used copy to post here, since my personal copy is a forever-keeper!

3rd in the Herriot series, but you don't have to read them in order. Always good for a laugh.

The third in his series ( after great and small, and bright and beautiful) this book recounts James Herriot's life during and after WWII as a veternarian, husband and soldier.

I first read the 4 Herriot "All Creatures Great and Small" series years ago when my kids were little. I remember fixing dinner for everyone and then going in the living room to read! And laughing out loud! These are great books - truly, your reading repertoire is incomplete without them. So glad to have them in my house again.
