The third collection of memoirs from the author who inspired the BBC series "All Creatures Great and Small." Training to be an RAF pilot amidst the smoke and bustle of London is a completely different lifestyle from James Herriot's daily routine as a country veterinarian in the Yorkshire Dales. Although he is ready to serve Queen and country, James can't help but miss his life in Darrowby, despite the frequent squabbles with his colleagues, the temperamental cattle, and equally irritable farmers, as well as the ongoing saga of Cedric, the flatulent dog. Most of all, he misses his wife Helen, who is pregnant with their first child. The question that constantly looms over him is: Will he go to war? And when will he come home? Since their first publication, James Herriot's memoirs have sold millions of copies and delighted generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny, and touching, "All Things Wise and Wonderful" is a heartwarming tale of determination, love, and camaraderie from one of Britain's most beloved authors. This omnibus edition includes "Vets Might Fly" and "Vet in a Spin.".
