These are the stories that catapulted James Herriot to literary fame. When this book was first published, it was merely a simple volume of memoirs by an unknown Scottish veterinarian. But within a year, the book became recognized as a masterpiece. And in the three decades that followed, Dr. Herriot has become one of the most universally loved authors of all time. His journey across the Yorkshire dales, and his encounters with humans and dogs, cows, and kittens are lovingly told with all the fascination, affection, and joy that suffuses Dr. Herriot's work.
