Further veterinary tales from the Yorkshire Dales
James Herriot 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.
Bulls with sunstroke, pigs on the run and a cake-eating Peke with a
betting habit . . . I grew up reading James Herriot's book and I'm
delighted that thirty years on they are still every bit as
charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were
then
*Kate Humble*
Herriot's enchanting tales of life in the Dales are deservedly
classics. Full of extraordinary characters, animal and human, the
books never fail to delight
*Amanda Owen, bestselling author of The Yorkshire
Shepherdess*
The attraction of Herriot’s ever popular memoirs of a country vet .
. . is their alternating highs and lows, humour and pathos, and
gripping anecdotes about delivering lambs, grumpy farmers,
hypochondriac pet-owners, stroppy cows and blunt Yorkshire
characters
