First edition of this installment in Herriot’s true-life-saga as a veterinarian in the Yorkshire countryside. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, “To Bill… James Herriot.” Near fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket photograph by Fay Godwin. Uncommon signed.

Here are more of James Herriot's heartwarming and deliciously funny memories: his triumphs, disasters, and the daily dramas involving man and beast as a veterinary practitioner in the Yorkshire Dales. Interwoven with his life in the countryside are the accounts of two extraordinary journeys which he made in the early sixties to Russia, in charge of a valuable cargo of pedigree sheep, and, near-disastrously to Istanbul in a airplane loaded with Jersey cattle.
