About this product

Product Information

Take an unforgettable journey through the English countryside and into the homes of its inhabitants-- four-legged and otherwise-- with the world's best-loved animal doctor. For over 25 years-- since All Creatures Great and Small was first published-- readers have delighted to the storytelling genius of James Herriot, the Yorkshire veterinarian whose fascinating vignettes brim with the wonder of life, animal and human. Whether struggling mightily to position a calf for birthing, or comforting a lonely old man whose beloved dog and only companion has died, Herriot's heartwarming and often hilarious stories of his first years as a country vet perfectly depict the wonderful relationship between man and animal-- and they intimately portray a man whose humor, compassion, and love of life are truly inspiring.

    An animal lover's delight

    I love the James Herriott series of books and wanted to introduce our sixth grade granddaughter to them so this is an early purchase for Christmas. The books are an easy read, entertaining and hysterically funny at times. This first in the series lays the groundwork for the three to come. I highly recommend All Creatures Great and Small for any age.

  • Want to read again.

    I had read the book years ago when it first came out and give my 3 sets of Herriot's books to my daughter. Lately with the television production of his works on Public television, I wanted to reread the books again. They are classic to any animal lover.
