The fourth book of four, Mr. Herriot, an English country vet, has two children now and runs the business for himself. This takes place in the 1950s. It is still full of warm and fuzzy stories, humor and compassion. You will still be transported out of your world and into his. If you like animals or people at all, you will enjoy these tales. (

Herriot is back in veterinary practice after WW2, raising his children Jimmy and Rosie, and travelling to Russia by ship in 1961, and flying to Istanbul in 1963. A mixed collection of stories, some more sentimental than humourous. Not as good as the earlier collections, but still interesting. (
