All Creatures Great and Small
Overview & Summary
This memoir follows James Herriot's early years as a country veterinarian in the Yorkshire Dales of 1930s England, recounting the colorful farmers, eccentric pet owners, and challenging animal patients he encountered while learning his profession under his gruff but good-hearted mentor. Warm and often very funny, the book became the first in a beloved series celebrating rural veterinary life.
