“That quotation about not having time to stand and stare has never applied to me. I seem to have spent a good part of my life - probably too much - in just standing and staring and I was at it again this morning.”
Another great Herriot book. It’s absolutely hilarious and I love it. Definitely recommend this one.
4 / 5 stars ⭐️

A light and easy book which was a nice change of pace from my typical non-fiction reads. James Herriot tells some great anecdotes in order that makes sense but does not require reading everything together. I was surprised how many people I spoke to while reading this who had been read Herriot’s short stories as a child and loved them, considering I had never heard of him and am not in England!

Предупреждать же надо.
Эта книжка - это просто вторая половина книги https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18929854-all-creatures-great-and-small
В биографии автора можно прочитать, что американский издатель объединял по две книги которые изначально выпускались как отдельные в Англии.
Эта книга - первая, написанная автором.
Мне больше понравилась All Things Bright and Beautiful (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38743.All_Things_Bright_and_Beautiful?from_search=true), которая уже более как литература читается.
