Format:Paperback
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 !!

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.

Format:Audio CD
I just love the books by James Herriot. And Timothy Christopher is a wunderful reader. I was really looking forward to this audio book. What I sadly had missed, was to read, that it was abridged to only 3 cds!!! WHY???
I really hope that Hachette will come out with the original version soon! Because I am not going to buy the other abridged storys in the Herriot series. And I can't find them anywhere else.
