About all creatures—beautiful and intelligent

The funny and touching stories about animals by English writer and veterinarian James Herriot have been translated into dozens of languages. His good-natured humor, keen observation, and brilliant storytelling gift have been winning over new readers for decades, never ceasing to amaze how interesting the stories from the "cow doctor's" practice can be. And how far the everyday life of a country veterinarian is from routine, it goes without saying! Try, for example, to reason with a raging bullock, or move a stubborn pig, or turn a stall into an operating room, all while keeping in mind the sharp teeth and hooves of your four-legged patients. This edition presents Herriot's book "All Creatures Great and Good" (1974), in which, as in the collection "All Creatures Great and Small", the author once again turns to the early years of his veterinary practice in Darrowby, a fictional town among the Yorkshire hills, behind which the features of Thirsk emerge, where the world-famous James Herriot Museum is now located.
