All Creatures Great and Small by James HerriotMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The first in the James Herriot series of books. An absolutely charming story about a large animal veterinarian in the Yorkshire Dales during the 1930's. This is Dr. Herriot's first job after veterinary college, and he pairs up with an established vet. They live together with a housekeeper and are on-call 24/7. Each chapter is a vignette in his daily life, ranging from the smallest dog or cat up to horses and cattle. His writing pulls you in so you feel that you are driving through the hills of York with him. I was glad to read this book on my Kindle to assist me with both the veterinary terms and the British colloquialisms. Highly recommended, especially if you have enjoyed the TV series. I'll definitely be reading the next book in the series while enjoying a cuppa tea!
