About the book
This beloved sequel to Herriot's first collection, “All Creatures Great and Small”, picks up as Herriot, now newly married, journeys among the remote hillside farms and valley towns of the Yorkshire Dales, caring for their inhabitants—both two- and four-legged. Throughout, Herriot's deep compassion, humor, and love of life shine out as we laugh, cry, and delight in his portraits of his many, varied animal patients and their equally varied owners. (Originally printed in the UK as two books: Book #3 - Let Sleeping Vets Lie, and Book #4 -Vet in Harness.)
