Very descriptive. Sounds like beautiful country side and interesting characters.

This book is filled with heartwarming stories and is a great read.

Absolutely marvelous read. Don’t miss if you love animals.

It is vividly described and full of laughter and tears.

A wonderful book. I loved it as much as I enjoyed the BBC series from 1978.

Just a wonderful place to spend some time; kindness, laughter and friendship.

No murders, car chases, or graphic sex........just sweet and gently funny stories worth the patience to read.

This is a delightful book about a young veterinarian's first two years of practice in rural northern England in the late 1930's. It is written in a very down-to-earth way that depicts the author's daily experiences, the quirkiness of the older farmers, and the rugged beauty of the countryside. His love for his work and the animals is evident, and it is easy for the reader to feel like they too are experiencing the ups and downs of this doctor's daily calls.
