The funny and touching animal stories of English writer and veterinarian James Herriot have been translated into dozens of languages. His good-natured humor, keen observation, and brilliant storytelling have been winning over new readers for decades, never ceasing to amaze readers with how engaging stories from the practice of a 'cow doctor' can be. And it goes without saying how far removed from the routine of a rural veterinarian's daily life is! Try, for example, to reason with an enraged bull, or move a stubborn pig, or turn a stall into an operating room, all the while keeping the sharp teeth and hooves of your four-legged patients in mind. This edition presents Herriot's All Creatures Beautiful and Intelligent (1974), which, like All Creatures Great and Small, revisits his early years as a veterinary practitioner in Darrowby, a fictional town in the Yorkshire hills that hints at Thirsk, now home to the world-famous James Herriot Museum.
