A later work and not his best, but still enjoyable. ( )

I love Herriot's vet stories! 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. ( )

Epigraph
Be fruitful and multiple, and replenish the earth and subdue it: and have dominion over all the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Dedication
To my revered and elderly friends, Polly and Bodie
First words
I am never at my best in the early morning, especially a cold morning in the Yorkshire spring with a piercing March wind sweeping down from the fells, finding its way inside my clothing, nipping at my nose and ears.
