It's nonfiction, about the life of an English country vet in the 1930’s. Funny, warm, and uplifting. I recommend it to animal lovers, and anyone else.
I first read that in junior high school. It was hard to get through the opening sequence about the calf-delivery, but after that it picked up. It’s amazing how things like that stick with you for 35 years!
Those are lovely books - I have them all and reread them constantly.
I’m reading “The Maligned King,” by Annette Carson, an excellent look at Richard the Third and his contributions to making England a more equitable country. He was an adopted Yorkshireman like James Herriot (Alf Wight).
You’re right! All of the James Herriot books are enjoyable reading. The BBC series was fairly well done, too.
I think ACG and Small is one of the very best books I ever read. He is probably the best short story writer ever IMHO. Anyone that can make an intriguing tale out of eating a piece of fat bacon, or not filling out the correct paperwork - the man was a genius.
I read that years ago. He is a good author and I enjoyed it. May have to see if I can get it for my iPad. Thanks
