The third collection of memoirs from the author who inspired the television series All Creatures Great and Small. Training as an RAF pilot amidst the blur and bustle of London during the war is a far cry from James Herriot's life as a countryside vet in the Yorkshire Dales. While eager to serve king and country, James can’t help but miss his life in Darrowby – despite the frequent disagreements between his colleagues Siegfried and Tristan, the temperamental cattle, the stern farmers, and the ongoing saga of Cedric, the flatulent dog. But most importantly, he misses his wife Helen, who is pregnant with their first child. The pressing question is – will he go to war? And when will he return home? Since their first publication, James Herriot's memoirs have sold millions of copies and have captivated generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny, and poignant, All Things Wise and Wonderful is a tender tale of determination, love, and comradeship from one of Britain’s best-loved writers. It includes Vets Might Fly and Vet in a Spin.
