Synopsis
The Best of James Herriot is one of the most extraordinary volumes ever devoted to the work and world of a contemporary writer. Within its covers are unforgettable episodes from the remarkable series of memoirs that began with All Creatures Great and Small -"the ones my family and I have laughed at over the years and the ones my readers have said they most enjoyed," as Herriot, himself, put it. Yet the book is far more than a simple anthology: Its gorgeous pages also include hundreds of line drawings and color photographs, capturing Herriot's Yorkshire in a worthy complement to the writer's words.The 1991 publication of Every Living Thing , rendered the original edition of this book incomplete. This fall will mark the publication of the complete, definitive edition with the addition of five of his best, more recent stories, as well as new art. Once again The Best of James Herriot becomes the quintessential Herriot volume-one of those invaluable books that will be loved as much in decades to come as it is today.

    This hardback book is of the highest quality, has a fine appearance , arrived in perfect condition, and is an excellent value. On what I was not asked about this time, communicating with the seller would have required using email outside of the eBay system, because they do not accept eBay messages, the book was well packed in a purpose-designed cardboard box, the shipping was faster than I expected for the bound media rate, and the book was exactly as described and pictured.

  • Best stories from beloved veterinarian

    This rural British veterinarian from many years back was a caring and capable vet who wrote endearing stories about old rural life. His stories were made into a popular public TV series. Excellent stories for children and adults provide a touch of country life, especially for our city dwellers who may not know much about cows, pigs, and border collies. Fully recommended.

  • Heavyweight with great features

    Well written. It is interesting to read this after watching the shows produced from this novel. The book as printed is rather large, close to school text book size. This extra girth does allow room for drawings and explanations of instruments used in veterinary practice back then. Overall, a good read.

  • “The Best of James Herriot” , good title, but every single story, even those not included in this book, are sheer delight!

    Any story by James Herriot is delightful, fun reading! My favorite reading ever! This is a wonderful collection to get you started. True stories. The people and the animals, the era, and “ Mr Herriot” are very sweet, funny and more entertaining than the average book. You won’t regret venturing in!
