Charming and delightful. A tranquil, bucolic moratorium for all busy folk who long for a mental vacation.

Again, another charming set of stories from James Herriot. I liked this one and didn't find the stories to be as repetitive as the last volume. I still think this is one of those things best read a chapter per night to the little ones in the house. But, as we don't have any little ones just yet, that will have to wait. ( )

As in all of Herriot's books, this one is filled with a variety of stories that are primarily humorous and uplifting. This book comes out a little disjointed, because it goes back and forth between Herriot's early married life, his courtship, and earlier with sometimes shaky transitions. The stories are wonderful, of course, and if you like the other books, you're sure to love this one, too. ( )

British Veterinarian, James Herriot, warms the heart and stimulates laughter with his second collection of autobiographical tales of his practice in the Yorkshire dales. It continually amazes me that Herriot is apparently just as skilled with a pen as he is a scalpel or syringe. Even 80 years after the occurrence of these events, his stories are captivating and strangely relevant. ( )

Dedication
With love to my wife and to my mother in dear old Glasgow town
First words
As I crawled into bed and put my arm around Helen it occurred to me, not for the first time, that there are few pleasures in this world to compare with snuggling up to a nice woman when you are half frozen.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312966199, Mass Market Paperback)

The world's most beloved animal doctor delightfully continues where he left off in All Creatures Great and Small with new adventures through the Yorkshire dales-- and a whole new menagerie of memorable patients.

Young James, now married and working as a small-town vet, encounters a cast of extraordinary characters as he makes his way through the Yorkshire countryside tending to sick cattle, pregnant ewes, ailing dogs-- and their eccentric owners. As always, Herriot's warmth, humor, and singular view of life make us laugh and cry, as we marvel at the everyday miracles he creates.
