The Lord God Made Them All

Back from RAF service, James Herriot returns to his vet practise in Darrowby, Yorkshire, ready for life to resume ? but the farm animals, stubborn farmers and his growing family make for a lively return. He faces goats that eat tomatoes, calves with odd ailments and local traditions that resist modern medicine. With warmth, humour and insight he recounts how the war changed little in the countryside and how people and animals alike adapt. The book celebrates the bond between vet and beast, the quirks of rural life and the simple joys of kindness and perseverance.
