James Herriot
World War II intrudes on the pastoral life of the Yorkshire veterinarian and #1 New York Times–bestselling author of All Creatures Great and Small. Only a couple of years after settling into his new home in northern England, James Herriot is called to war. In this series of poignant and humorous episodes, the great veterinarian shares his experiences training with the Royal Air Force, pining for a pregnant wife, and checking in on the people back home who made his practice so fascinating. As the young men of Yorkshire are sent into battle and farmers consider the broader world they’re a part of, Herriot reflects on the lives—human and animal alike—that make his home worth fighting for.

"Love this book series! That being said, be prepared for book. This is veterinarian who tells things as they are. Reproduction systems of dogs, cats, horses, cows, and sheep are a topic he discusses extensively. The way the stories are told are so charming, and a look into a way of living that has passed."

"It's not the 1st book in the series. Have you read All Creatures Great and Small? If not, ATW&W is the 3rd book in the series. Because it's a chronological collection, you should read ACG&S and All Things Bright and Beautiful first. That aside, I loved James Herriot's books as a teenager and reread them when I get nostalgic or am looking for a heartwarming read."
