An animal lover's delight
I love the James Herriott series of books and wanted to introduce our sixth grade granddaughter to them so this is an early purchase for Christmas. The books are an easy read, entertaining and hysterically funny at times. This first in the series lays the groundwork for the three to come. I highly recommend All Creatures Great and Small for any age.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Want to read again.
I had read the book years ago when it first came out and give my 3 sets of Herriot's books to my daughter. Lately with the television production of his works on Public television, I wanted to reread the books again. They are classic to any animal lover.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
