In this sequel to All Creatures Great and Small, Herriot again offers up stories of his time as a country vet in Yorkshire during the 1930s. We learn about the various animals he's called to assist, as well as the colorful characters of the small village where he and his wife reside.
The stories are funny, quaint, and, at times, not for the squeamish, as there are plenty of descriptions of the viscera and bodily fluids that come with any veterinary practice. But all in all, it's a charming collection of stories, and the audiobook, read by the wonderful Christopher Timothy, is excellent.
