All Things Wise and Wonderful

Evocative, funny and poignant, this is the third volume of memoirs from James Herriot who inspired the PBS television series All Creatures Great and Small. This omnibus edition contains the books Vets Might Fly and Vet in a Spin.Training as an RAF pilot in the smoke and bustle of wartime London is a far cry from James Herriot's day job as a country vet in the Yorkshire Dales. And whilst he is keen to serve King and country, James cannot help but miss his life in Darrowby, despite frequent arguments between his colleagues Siegfried and Tristan, bad-tempered cattle, opinionated farmers, and the continuing saga of Cedric the flatulent dog.But most of all he misses his wife Helen, who is pregnant with their first child. The question constantly hanging over them is: will he be going to war? And when will he get to go home?Since they were first published, James Herriot's memoirs have sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny and touching, All Things Wise and Wonderful is a heartwarming story of determination, love, and companionship from one of Britain's best-loved authors.
