The third collection of memoirs from the author who inspired the
BBC and Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small. This
omnibus edition comprises of Vets Might Fly and Vet in a Spin.
Training as an RAF pilot in the smoke and bustle of London is a far
cry from James Herriot's day job as a country vet in the Yorkshire
Dales. And while he is keen to serve Queen and country, James
cannot help but miss his life in Darrowby - despite frequent
arguments between his colleagues, bad-tempered cattle and equally
irritable farmers, and the continuing saga of Cedric the flatulent
dog. But most of all he misses his wife Helen; pregnant with their
first child. The question is constantly hanging over him - will he
be going to war? And when will he get to go home? 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 Things Wise and Wonderful is a heart-warming
story of determination, love and companionship from one of
Britain's best-loved authors. 'I grew up reading James Herriot's
books and I'm delighted that thirty years on, they are still every
bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were
then' - Kate Humble
