The Lord God Made Them All
A continuation of Herriot's classic series about his life and veterinary practice in the English countryside (although it stands alone just fine). From The Washington Post: "This is Herriot at his best. . . able to make us laugh, cry or nod in agreement with some snippet of universal truth." Add Audible narration for $11.99.
About the Book
From the publisher:
“Back home in Yorkshire after military duty, James Herriot sees his family and veterinary practice flourish, even as the world around him changes profoundly.
When World War II ends and James Herriot returns to his wife and new family in the English countryside, he dreams mostly of Sunday roasts and Yorkshire puddings, but new adventure has a way of tracking him down. Soon Herriot finds himself escorting a large number of sheep on a steamer to Russia, puzzling through the trials of fatherhood, and finding creative ways to earn the trust of suspicious neighbors who rely on him for the wellbeing of their beloved animals.  Herriot’s winning humor and self-deprecating humanity shine through every page, and his remarkable storytelling has captivated readers for generations.”
