    Author

    James Herriot

    James Herriot, a pseudonym for James Alfred Wight, grew up in Glasgow and qualified as a veterinary surgeon at Glasgow Veterinary College. Shortly afterwards he took up a position as an assistant in a North Yorkshire practice where he remained, with the exception of his wartime service in the RAF, until his death in 1995. He wrote many books about Yorkshire country life, including some for children, but he is best known for his memoirs, which begin with If Only They Could Talk. The books were televised in the enormously popular series All Creatures Great and Small.

      These are amazing animal stories! I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to them. There are several bad words in the narration though. I would not say this is suitable for young children. If these words had not been present I would have been happy to give this book a five star review.
    • 5/5
      Wonderful, cozy stories of large animal veterinary in the 50's. Reader is perfect!
    • 5/5
      Amazing! Thankyou so much for this book, I really enjoyed.
    • 4/5
      A delightful collection of stories previously published in the author's other books, but lovingly illustrated with watercolors. Worth reading and keeping, even if you have already read them before.
