I sent all the books back that I received. I didn't get all the ones I ordered, got duplicates of two and 3 had torn covers. I will order the whole set from a book store. I once had and read the whole set more than once and regret selling them when I moved.

This is a truly wonderful autobiographical story which reads like a marvelous novel, about the life adventures of the author as he goes about his veterinary work days in the English countryside. If you live among animals, love animals, have compassionate feelings about their welfare, you will adore this book. Additionally you may enjoy the many amusing stories the author tells about numerous highly eccentric individuals: the gifted older veterinarian, Siegfred, for whom he worked for more than thirty years, Siegfred's vet student son Tristan,... and many other colorful, equally eccentric neighbors who use the combined veterinary services of Siegfred, Tristan and the author. Also the lovely phrases describing the English farm country may make you want to live there, if you don't already. This book so enthralled me that I put the book down and went to the computer to purchase 4 copies to give as gifts to my husband and relatives. I was raised a city girl, but have spent most of my life as a farm wife, and this book is doubly appealing to me, and will be to you if you also have lived a life "in a zoo" surrounded by fascinating animals. And you may be amazed at the many suggestions for treating the illnesses of the animals you care for, horses, cattle, hogs, and small pets, too. I LOVE this book and the style in which it is written, and while I was deciding which sellers to order 4 more copies from, the "this book has not been reviewed yet" message caught my eye, so I decided that this ommission must be remedied. If you read this book, you'll be blessed by it.Read full review

James Herriot is a great story teller with the typical British humor! I’m sure if he wrote the phone book, it would make people laugh.
