This is the biography of James Herriot. This a former Library book. I removed the library's inner and outer book covers and there is a new book that the public has not touched. It does have library stamps.

James Herriot is the beloved English vet who had a BBC TV series "ALL Creatures Great and Small" .

Herriot was a farm vet who made home visits from 1937 -1960's when his clientele became more domestic creatures like cats and dogs that you could bring to his clinic in town. His big farm animals were humous but his country clientele were hysterical. He wrote books like" The Lord God made them all', "All Creatures great and small, Dog stories, Cat stories and many more. If you have read one of Herriot's books you will know what I mean. James Herriot was a great animal lover and writer. I love all his books. I highly recommend this book.
