The fifth volume of the memoirs of the author who inspired the BBC series "All Creatures Great and Small." During his decades as a country veterinarian in Yorkshire, James Herriot witnessed tremendous advancements in medical science, technological leaps, and a world irrevocably changed by war. Yet some things have always remained the same: grim farmers, hypochondriac pet owners, and animals that never quite do what you expect of them. From the green young man in his first job in the 1930s to an experienced veterinarian married with two children, James spent his entire career among the people and animals of Darrowby. And there is no other place he would rather be. Since their first publication, James Herriot's memoirs have sold millions of copies and delighted generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny, and touching, "Every Living Thing" is a heartwarming tale of determination, love, and camaraderie from one of Britain's most beloved authors.
