All Creatures Great and Small (All Creatures Great and Small #1-2)

Fresh out of Glasgow Veterinary College, to the young James Herriot 1930s Yorkshire seems to offer an idyllic pocket of rural life in a rapidly changing world. But from his erratic new colleagues, brothers Siegfried and Tristan Farnon, to incomprehensible farmers, herds of semi-feral cattle, a pig called Nugent and an overweight Pekingese called Tricki Woo, James finds he is on a learning curve as steep as the hills around him. And when he meets Helen, the beautiful daughter of a local farmer, all the training and experience in the world can't help him. Heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measure, this is a book for all those who find laughter and joy in animals, and who know and understand the magic and beauty of Britain’s wild places. (Originally printed in the UK as two books: Book #1 - *If Only They Could Talk*, and Book #2 - *It Shouldn’t Happen to a Vet*.)
