![]() ![]() I really like animal stories, and this is the biggest collection of them I’ve ever read. ![]() The writing voice is wonderful and easy to read and the stories are hilarious. I’ll say it first off that I highly recommend all of these books. The Herriot family goes through a few houses trying to find one of their own, and Callum takes on not a few very strange animals, driving Siegfried up the wall. ![]() Same sort of stories as the first book, minus Tristan, plus Callum (called by the farmers: “the vet wi’ th’ badger”). One on a boat carrying sheep going to Russia, and another on a plane with cows going to Turkey. All the stories are new ones, but the switching is a little confusing.īack from the RAF, Herriot is adjusting back to normal life as well as getting a new daughter, Rosemary. Also in this book Helen gives birth to their first son, Jimmy.Ībout half of this book is flashbacks to other vet stories from before he went into the army. James Herriot is drafted into the Royal Air Force and must go through harsh training. Many more wonderful stories of animals and everyday life in Skeldale house. James Herriot is now a fully certified vet, partner to Siegfried and husband to Helen (a girl he met in the first book). In time, he meets Siegfried’s brother, Tristan, and many colorful characters in the Yorkshire countryside while he learns the practical application of all he’s learned. Coming to the Yorkshire from veterinary school in Scotland, young James Herriot finds a job as an assistant with the unpredictable and explosive-tempered vet, Siegfried Farnon. ![]()
