The perfect gift for fans of All Creatures Great and Small, this is
a charming collection of classic stories from James Herriot’s
much-loved books, with insights into his life and work from his
children Rosie and Jim. With astute observations and boundless
humour, country vet Herriot captures the spirit of the Yorkshire
Dales and of rural communities on the cusp of change, before
tractors and machines had taken over and modern medicines and
antibiotics transformed veterinary work. Along the way a beloved
cast of characters emerges, from the squabbling brothers Tristan
and Siegfried to Herriot’s hapless courtship and eventual family
life with Helen Anderson. But it’s the animals which are at the
heart of Herriot’s stories. Whether he’s dodging a raging bull
on a risky artificial insemination assignment, becoming pen pals
with Tricki Woo the spoilt Pekingese pooch, or the inevitable
trials and tribulations of lambing season, there’s never a dull
moment in Herriot’s company. At times moving and often
laugh-out-loud funny, The Wonderful World of James Herriot will
delight fans old and new.
