Book Reviews of Let Sleeping Vets Lie
Book Review: NOT a new Herriot book; but there are reasons to purchase it
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with the first reviewer, it is confusing to have these books released which have totally different names from the "original" set of Herriot books. They are portions of the classic series, with different names.
However the one reason I am buying them is for my elderly mother, since they do come in large print which the regular Herriot books do not.
And, in reference to the second reviwer: the time period the books are set in is 1930's Yorkshire, up to and slightly after WWII. They were written and released in the late '60's and early '70's and were immediate popular hits, justifiably so.
I do wish Amazon would number them in order, since the publisher did not! However, going by the combo sets of these books, I think the order is:
1. If Only They Could Talk
2. It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet
3. Let Sleeping Vets Lie
4. Vet in Harness
5. Vets Might Fly
6. Vet in Spin
7. The Lord God Made Them All
Summary of Let Sleeping Vets Lie
With two years experience behind him, James Herriot still feels privileged working on the beautiful Yorkshire moors as assistant vet at the Darrowby practice. Time to meet yet more unwilling patients and a rich cast of supporting owners. Full of hilarious tales of his unpredictable boss Siegfreid Farnon, his charming student brother Tristan, the joys of spring lambing, a vicious cat called Boris and James' jinxed courtship of the lovely Helen, this third volume of memoirs is sure to delight hardened fans and new readers of James Herriot titles alike. 'He can tell a good story against himself, and his pleasure in the beauty of the countryside in which he works is infectious.' - "Daily Telegraph". 'Full of warmth, wisdom and wit.' - "The Field". 'It is a pleasure to be in James Herriot's company.' - "Observer".Memoirs Books
