"Human beings just naturally respond to a writer as lovable, wholesome, eloquent, humorous and well-stocked with anecdotes as James Herriot." --Chicago Tribune Book World

James Herriot’s Third Enchanting Collection of Stories

Joy, suspense, delight, heartbreak, and-most especially-love....from the author of All Creatures Great And Small and All Things Bright And Beautiful the continuing love story of a Yorkshire vet and his friends and neighbors--human and animal....by the world's most beloved writer! James Herriot's happiest bestseller ever.

This volume picks up where All Things Bright and Beautiful left off: In the midst of World War II, James is training for the Royal Air Force, while going home to Yorkshire whenever possible to see his very pregnant wife, Helen. Musing on past adventures through the dales, visiting with old friends, and introducing scores of new and amusing characters—animal and human alike—Herriot enthralls with his uncanny ability to spin a most engaging and heartfelt yarn. It's no surprise that The Boston Globe has described him as a "wise and wonderful writer."
