James Herriot returns with more heartwarming tales from his life as a country veterinary surgeon in the Yorkshire Dales. This beloved collection captures the charm, humour, and occasional chaos of treating animals in rural England during the 1930s and 1940s.
From calving cows in freezing barns to ministering to pampered pets, Herriot encounters an unforgettable cast of characters—both human and animal. His vivid portraits of dales farmers, their devotion to their livestock, and the breathtaking landscape they inhabit create a nostalgic celebration of a vanishing way of life. With gentle wit and genuine compassion, these stories offer comfort, laughter, and a profound appreciation for the bonds between people, animals, and the countryside.
