If you're an animal lover, there's no better author of animal-related stories than James Herriot. A retired British veterinarian, Mr. Herriot's writing puts you right alongside as he makes his rounds caring for animals and dealing with the sometimes unique personalities of their owners, as well as the fellow vets he worked with.
From what I could see, this book is comprised of stories that appeared in previously published James Herriot books. It's a good read, especially if you're not familiar with his work and want to get a taste before committing to other books. That said, though, I would still recommend his "All Creatures Great and Small" series of books for the full "Herriot experience".
great book - just like the others
James Harriot, an English vet, tells his tales of house calls and office calls. Hillarious. Great family book.
Ahhh, James Herriot. Some laughing, some crying, always leaves you feeling good about life.

The final sequel in James Herriot's series of his experiences as a vet in England. This book continues to share the everyday life of a vet as he treats a large array of animals.
