A true classic. Why I haven't read it before now is beyond me but now I'm going to read the series.
James Herriot (his pen name) is a country vet in Yorkshire, England. He has just recently graduated from veterinary school and is looking for a position with Siegfried Farnon, who owns the practice. James is quickly thrust into the rural veterinary practice and endears himself to the townspeople. He meets Helen, whom he later marries, while tending to one of her family's animals. The "tales" are not graphic and some are even comical but each chapter is about one of his memorable and/or strange cases as a vet.
A truly delightful read.
