Yorkshire Vet, Julian Norton. Follow the adventures of a local vet
and the various farm animals who need his help and care over the
course of one summer. Set against the wild and beautiful Yorkshire
hills, these ten stories featuring farmyard favourites such as
horses, goats, cows and more are sure to delight and inspire a love
of animals from the youngest age.
Warm and heartfelt stories and amusing anecdotes from the life of a
vet in God's Own County. Julian Norton has been a vet for over
twenty years, and in that time he has treated animals of every kind
- snakes and lizards, fish and fowl, sheep, goats, alpacas, cows,
horses, swans ... you name it, Julian has seen it and, most likely,
made it better! In A Yorkshire Vet Through the Seasons, Julian
recounts more inspirational tales from his life, the animals he has
treated and the people he has met, as well as taking us through the
seasons, showing the challenges and surprises that occur at the
most unlikely times. His voice, well known from the television
series A Yorkshire Vet on Channel 5, comes over loud and clear in
his writing, and the compassion and professionalism he is known for
on the TV shines brightly through these pages. Whether he's tending
to a domestic pet at his practice in Thirsk or called out to an
injured swan in the middle of a cold Yorkshire night, the animals
always come first and Julian's passion and commitment are always to
the fore. Full of drama, small triumphs, sadness and happiness,
this book is an inspiration for anyone who loves animals as well as
those who dream of becoming a vet.

contentment. Lambs will skip and gambol, cows will ruminate
placidly, and the gentle sounds and soft curious facial expression
of alpacas or llamas are enough to lift the spirits and warm the
coldest of hearts. Here in All Creatures, Julian tells the stories
of each of the eight species he has the good fortune to care for
every day. He shares the heart-warming and life-affirming

stories of James Herriot, and with a foreword by James Herriot's

love for his vocation shines through on every page. From alpacas to

will prove a firm favourite with all animal lovers. Dealing with
unexpected exotic pets - and handling excitable humans too - Julian
has seen all sides of the veterinary world and writes about it all
with humour and affection. Just as happy calving a cow, treating a
dehydrated chameleon or tending to the overgrown teeth of a rabbit,
his passion for his work shines through on every page, as does his
love for Yorkshire. Julian Norton also stars in Channel 5's
