This book talks about the years when his children are young, and his first two apprentices. I particularly loved reading about Calum- his assistant who had a hoard of pets and children (and wore a badger around). I also enjoyed reading about Herriot's relationship with his own two cats. Can't put it down, but don't want it to end. As good or even better than his 4 previous books. Life of a country veterinarian in rural England in the early 1950's. I bought this book with fond childhood memories of Herriot's picture books, hoping I'd find something similar -- and I most certainly did. This book is more a series of vignettes with recurring characters than a set of chapters that tells a single story, and nearly every one is as funny, charming, or touching as one would expect from James Herriot. It's not very intellectually deep, but it's a wonderful light read. I can never get enough of these stories. no reviews | add a review
