All creatures great and small

For decades, Herriot roamed the remote, beautiful Yorkshire Dales, treating every patient that came his way from smallest to largest, and observing animals and humans alike with his keen, loving eye. In All Creatures Great and Small, we meet the young Herriot as he takes up his calling and discovers that the realities of veterinary practice in rural Yorkshire are very different from the sterile setting of veterinary school. Some visits are heart-wrenchingly...

In this third volume of his memoirs, an English veterinarian reminisces about his animal patients and their owners, and about his experiences in the RAF during World War II.

The author offers a collection of memoirs, describing the family and friends who share his life on the Yorkshire dales.
