No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Such a lovely book. Call me an old softy, but I find these books heartwarming. A look into a veterinary practice in the English countryside of the 1930's. Follow James Herriot at the beginning of his practice and marriage until he leaves for his call-up to war. A delightful read. No one else captures the life of a country vet better than James Herriot. In this collection of tales, the reader is treated to a variety of animals in many circumstances, from the most mundane nail trimming to the most dire where nothing can save them. But more often than not, James’ patients pull through, sometimes surprising even the doctor. We are also privy to a bit of James’ private life, as he courts his wife-to-be Helen. Well told and highly entertaining, these tales are classic. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

The world's most beloved animal doctor delightfully continues where he left off in All Creatures Great and Small with new adventures through the Yorkshire dales and a whole menagerie of memorable patients. Young James, now married and working as a small-town vet, encounters a cast of extraordinary characters as he makes his way through the Yorkshire countryside tending to sick cattle, pregnant ewes, ailing dogs--and their eccentric owners.

I can't think why I haven't read this marvelous book before! It's a lot of fun and I like the way he tells how it was when he was starting out in practice but also how the improvements in veterinary medicine have helped the domesticated animals. He relates his own foibles as he deals with the varied human characters as well as the others.
This program is read by Nicholas Ralph, star of the new PBS Masterpiece series and his interpretation is wonderful! I love listening to him as he portrays Herriot and everyone else.
I requested and received a free audio copy from MacMillan Audio via NetGalley. Thank you! (
