I really have nothing to add to all of the previous comments, except that "I agree...what a great book!!!"This book is also a perfect volume for reading at bedtime or on the bus because it is broken into about fifty short, stand-alone stories, so you can read just a little each night, or put it down for six months and pick right back up where you started.
Some of the stories and insights just rip your heart out. His compassion for animals and people alike is inspiring and will bring a tear to your eye. What a great storyteller!
Book Review: A classic and it should be
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the template for great writing about animals. I have never found anyone who can top Herriott for combining humor, pathos, character study and warmth in the "animal" genre. . This is a book that will delight people of all ages forever. I'm sure Herriott has been the inspiration for many a veterinarian career. Every one of his books maintains the same consistently top-notch writing. A great holiday, birthday, anniversary, or any other occasion gift. I think I'll go back and read this book again right now!!Book Review: The Feel-Good Book

How can anyone possibly not love the series of books about the English country vet "James Herriot"?
What wonderful stories! Not only well-written, but filled with humor, understanding, and at times total pathos. Books to laugh and cry with--what could be better?
In the late '70s, I discovered them in a Heathrow bookstall--something to read on a long flight to West Africa. I was instantly enchanted! I've read them aloud to my children and find that, now as adults, they often re-read them. As do I.
Book Review: Heartwarming
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first book of James Herriott's that I read, and I just couldn't put it down. I was so caught up in the story, it transported me to Yorkshire in the'60's. He is a master story teller, the story becomes alive, it makes you laugh and warms your heart. I could imagine all the characters in the book, what they may have looked like, their mannerisms, voice. I have read it over and over more than 10 times. It is both humourous and heartwarming and one of the most interesting books I have ever read.
