Description
This charming and often comical collection of stories has long been a favorite in my family. A keen observer of both animals and people, Herriot has a knack for relaying even the most ordinary event, such as the birthing of a calf, in the most extraordinarily entertaining manner. In this, his first book, James quickly learns that life as a veterinary surgeon in the rugged Yorkshire Dells is a far cry from the clinical setting of vet school. Things, it seems, almost never go "by the book" for Jim, resulting in some zany situations. From the tales of Tricki Woo, the overfed Pekingese, to Charlie Dent's hostile pig, All Creatures Great and Small will have you in stitches from start to finish. Please note that there is a peppering of mild swear words throughout the book, as Herriot's writing remains true to the local vernacular. ~ Rachel P.
Publisher's Description of All Creatures Great & Small
Delve into the magical, unforgettable world of James Herriot, the world's most beloved veterinarian, and his menagerie of heartwarming, funny, and tragic animal patients.
For fifty years, generations of readers have flocked to Herriot's marvelous tales, deep love of life, and extraordinary storytelling abilities. For decades, Herriot roamed the remote, beautiful Yorkshire Dales, treating every patient that came his way from smallest to largest, and observing animals and humans alike with his keen, loving eye.
In All Creatures Great and Small, we meet the young Herriot as he takes up his calling and discovers that the realities of veterinary practice in rural Yorkshire are very different from the sterile setting of veterinary school.
