Beschreibung des Verlags
The third collection of memoirs from the author who inspired the TV series All Creatures Great and Small.
Training as an RAF pilot in the smoke and bustle of wartime London is a far cry from James Herriot’s day job as a country vet in the Yorkshire Dales. And whilst he is keen to serve King and country, James cannot help but miss his life in Darrowby – despite frequent arguments between his colleagues Siegfried and Tristan, bad-tempered cattle, opinionated farmers and the continuing saga of Cedric the flatulent dog. But most of all he misses his wife Helen; pregnant with their first child. The question constantly hanging over them is – will he be going to war? And when will he get to go home?
Since they were first published, James Herriot’s memoirs have sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny and touching, All Things Wise and Wonderful is a heart-warming story of determination, love and companionship from one of Britain’s best-loved authors.
Contains Vets Might Fly and Vet in a Spin.

Absolutely wonderful!
A while ago I read all of James Herriot‘s books in one breath — I remember I laughed & cried at his recollections, his stories gave me a lot to think about, too. Now, quite a few years later, I found his audiobooks here, and what a delight! Christopher Timothy is a true artist! To hear my favourite stories in his performance — I have no words, what a magnificent experience! Thank you so much for making it possible.
