Summary

A few months of married bliss, a lovers' nest in Darrowby and the wonders of home cooking are rudely interrupted for James Herriot by the Second World War.

James Herriot's fifth volume of memoirs relocates him to a training camp somewhere in England. And in between square pounding and digging for victory, he dreams of the people and livestock he left behind him.

Exceptional, heartwarming, and humorous

James Herriot's love of animals, respect for rural life, and witty observations render this book utterly captivating. Herriot's experiences are evoked so vividly, making it an engaging read from start to finish.

Christopher Timothy's audio narration adds a new layer of enjoyment to the story. Timothy breathes life into the characters and landscapes, and his delivery truly enhances the listener's experience. His commendable narration enabled me to live the characters' emotions, the ups and downs of a vet's life, bringing a personal touch to Herriot's tales that stimulated the imagination. It's a must-read for both James Herriot fans and newcomers alike.

Calming Yorkshire at its best

I love James Herriot books- gentle, kind, lovely stories about the Yorkshire Dales and the animals (and owners) he cares for. If you like animals this book is for you.
