- Synopsis
- Few authors in memory have delighted readers around the world thoroughly as the beloved veterinarian James Herriot. And, with his recent volumes of hugely popular illustrated tales—James Herriot's Cat Stories and James Herriot's Favorite Dog Stories—his name has been introduced to a whole new generation of readers. Now, this gorgeous new collection finally brings together ten of his best-loved stories celebrating all the creatures in his wonderful world—creatures bright and beautiful, great and small. Here are lambs, horses, cows, dogs, even a whimsical pig or two, along with their colorful human counterparts—all brought vividly to life by Herriot's storytelling magic. From a prickly horse young James encountered early in his veterinary-school experience, through Dorothy the goat—star of the entrancing holiday tale "There's Christmas—and Christmas"—we are reacquainted with all the charming companions of Herriot's Yorkshire menagerie. Once again illuminated by the radiant watercolors of Lesley Holmes, each of Herriot's animal friends is rendered with the kind of warmth and humor that comes with old, familiar friendship. With a special introduction by Herriot's own son Jim, the stories in this bright new collection will warm readers of every age.
