The Wonderful World of James Herriot

A moving and, often, hilarious collection of animal-filled excerpts and short stories from all eight of the beloved memoirs by James Herriot, the pen name of Yorkshire vet James ‘Alf’ Wight (1916-95). Mixing charming recollections of Darrowby life with the affectionate feuding of Siegfried and Tristan Farnon; the ups and downs of rural veterinary practice, through lambing season and a dangerous encounter with an angry bull; plus Dales characters, a pampered Pekinese, and attempting dentistry on draught horses. With an introduction by Wight’s children, Jim and Rosie.
