5.0 out of 5 stars The book that started the James Herriot phenomenon, 24 Aug 1999
By A Customer
The first book by legendary vet James Herriot. Set in 1930's Yorkshire, it warms the heart and tickles the funny bone. The characters are as rough-hewn as the Yorkshire Dales they inhabit. They draw you into their world with their charm. A youthful Herriot struggles to come to terms with his new environment, relishing the challenge. A great read and a good laugh !!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourites, 26 Dec 2007
By Ms. Hr Jackson "Hannah Jay" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love James Herriott-he has the gift to not only be very funny, but very touching. Reading his books can sometimes make you feel nostalgic towards an era you never knew. His love for life, even when things are going slightly pear shaped, transpires in all his stories and is a delight to behold. You end up feeling like you knew all the people in the stories-Siegfried, Triston...He really lets you into his world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Prospects, 2 Dec 2006
This review is from: If Only They Could Talk (Paperback)
Nice to see a resurgence in interest in James Herriot's tales. A new generation can savour his story telling. Certainly he's given the inspiration for a modern day equivalent in 'Pets in Prospect'. Both revel in the lifes of young vets caught up in the hurley burley of dealing with clients and their pets. Both written with humour and in a style that makes for easy reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars So funny!
What a wonderful trip down memory lane this book was. I remember watching the TV series back in the 70's and 80's and picking this book up for the first time was like settling... Read more
