"This book was as good as the rest. I know that he works very hard, but he loves his work so much that it seems he lived a somewhat charmed life, or maybe it's just his humor and style of writing. Anyway, I can't believe the opportunities that came his way - he got to go to Russia and Istanbul! Wow! In this book he also writes about his son, Jimmy, and daughter, Rosie, going along on vet calls. Very sweet that they got to hang out with dad."

" I recomand this book for all who likes animals, country life and life-affirmation. And of course who likes the english humour.:-) "
— Julianna, 2/20/2014 -
" I liked this book a lot. I really like James Herriot's outlook on life - where he thoughtfully considers the world around him and sees the good in people and things. These are great books for kids and former kids. "
— Carole, 2/14/2014 -
" I also love the humble humor of James Herriot "
— Annette, 2/12/2014 -
" Dr. Herriot is at it again with his stories of life as a veterinay surgeon. The stories of his travels are not as interesting or amusing as his life as a country vet, but all in all it was a good, light read. "
— Brenda, 2/6/2014 -
" I read all the Herriot books when they first came out. Not great literature, but I remember them being warm and gentle and kind. Sort of steaming-mug-of-chamomile-tea-on-a-winter-night-type stories. "
— Hope, 2/2/2014 -
" Well, I love James Harriot anyway. A very kind, gentle and funny man who tells the open hearted truth about the weirdos he meets and stupid things he does. 100% delightful. I learned you can fight a bull with an artificial vagina, and there was a dog in Yorkshire who would go on a slide with the kids in the neighborhood. Also, I would like to be a vet in the English countryside, thank you. "
— Megankellie, 1/15/2014 -

" The first half, although James is entertaining as always, had some sad animal stories. But about halfway through it adds some extraordinary humor. It has been the type of book I cannot put down. "
— Sherry, 12/24/2011 -
" I listened to this on tape as a last minute loan to stay awake, and it was surprisingly entertaining. It's more a collection of short stories than a true novel. The accents were charming on the tape. "

About James Herriot
James Herriot (1916-1995) was the bestselling author of memoirs, including All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, All Things Wise and Wonderful, The Lord God Made Them All, and Every Living Thing. At age twenty-three, he qualified for veterinary practice with the Glasgow Veterinary College and moved to the town of Thirsk in Yorkshire to work in a rural practice. He would live in, work in, and write about the region for the rest of his life. Though he dreamed for years of writing a book, his veterinary work and his family kept him busy, and he did not start writing until the age of fifty. In 1979, he was awarded the title Order of the British Empire (OBE). His veterinary practice in Yorkshire, England, is now tended by his son, Jim Wight.
