About All Creatures

Funny and touching stories about animals by English writer and veterinarian James Herriot have been translated into dozens of languages. His good-natured humor, keen observation, and brilliant storytelling have captivated new readers for decades, continually surprising them with how interesting... the stories from the practice of a "cow doctor" can be. And how remote the everyday life of a rural veterinarian is from routine goes without saying! Try, for example, to calm an enraged bull calf, or to move a stubborn pig, or to turn a stall into an operating room, all the while not forgetting the sharp teeth and hooves of your four-legged patients - large and small, beautiful and intelligent, wise and amazing.
In this edition, three collections of stories by James Herriot are presented; the author reflects on the early years of his veterinary practice in Darrowby, a fictional town that bears the traits of Thirsk, where the world-famous James Herriot Museum is now located.
