Another fine James Herriot book. This one has Collum and the badger involved. I just really enjoy these books. I am thinking about giving them to my niece. I think she'd enjoy them as well. ( )

Yay, no more awkward framing devices! This one is just as good as the first two. ( )

Really enjoyed this one, it's back to telling the stories the way they were told before the war. Shame it's the last one.

Would have liked to hear about Tristan and some more from Siegfried.

Some of the stories were quite sad, especially the story of Olly and Ginny. :-( ( )

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. ( )

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.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312950586, Mass Market Paperback)

Celebrate the return of the most beloved storyteller of our time!

The waiting is finally over. For the first time in over a decade, the world's favorite veterinarian, James Herriot, returns us in a twinkle to the rural green enclave of England called Yorkshire for more irresistible tales of animals and people.

At long last, another treat from Herriot!

In stories of wonders great and small, James reintroduces many old friends like Mrs. Pumphrey, his partner Siegfried Farnon, and of course, his wife Helen. But there are wonderful new faces too, especially his children Rosie and Jimmy, and his latest assistant, Calum Buchanan.

Herriot works his magic again!

Offering readers an even more intimate view of the life and dreams of a country vet than any of his previous volumes, James Herriot's Every Living Thing is a book that will warm your heart, make you laugh out loud, and feel so good you'll never want it to end.

Herriot really does love Every Living Thing...and so will you!
