![]() ![]() ![]() The doctoring of animals is interwoven with triumph and failure, humour and sadness. As James Herriot's thoughts wander back over the rich memories from his life as a veterinary surgeon, a host of new characters and old friends, animal and human, march across the pages, all revealing Herriot himself with his dedication to the job and his unequalled capacity for seeing the silly side of things. The book is about those things and the eternal fascinating challenge of veterinary work. He tells us of his experiences in air force blue, looking at service life with characteristic dry humour, but his heart is still in the green hills of Yorkshire, with his newly-married wife and his animal patients.
