Product Information

Contains If Only They Could Talk and It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet The inspiration for the BBC series of the same name Fresh out of Glasgow Veterinary College, to the young James Herriot 1930s Yorkshire seems to offers an idyllic pocket of rural life in a rapidly changing world. But from his erratic new colleagues, brothers Siegfried and Tristan Farnon, to incomprehensible farmers, herds of semi-feral cattle, a pig called Nugent and an overweight Pekingese called Tricki Woo, James find he is on a learning curve as steep as the hills around him. And when he meets Helen, the beautiful daughter of a local farmer, all the training and experience in the world can't help him... Since they were first published, James Herriot's memoirs have sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny and touching, All Creatures Great and Small is a heart-warming story of determination, love and companionship from one of Britain's best-loved authors.

  • Good reading

    What can one say about Herriot & his novels? Traditional down to earth reading. The books our about times gone bye an age of innocence & family values. The books move along at a fast pace reflecting every day issues of the time. The novels are a family read. I must say that all the books in this trilogy are not a taxing read, the storylines are not over complicated. Within the books you will find humour, pathos & a true if at times rose coloured view of the times. In conclusion I recommend these books for the entire family, the television series was good but the books are far better.

    Lovely memoir of a rural vet in 1930s Yorkshire Dales. I read these books years ago and ad forgotten how well written and funny they are. A good way to switch off.
