If only they could talk - James Herriot

When newly qualified vet James Herriot arrives in the small Yorkshire village of Darrowby, he has no idea what to expect. How will he get on with his new boss? The local farmers? And what will the animals think...?

James Herriot's first wonderfully funny volume of memoirs introduces the unpredictable Siegfried Farnon, his charming student brother Tristan, many memorable cows, bulls, pigs and horses - and the one and only crackerdog, Tricki Woo.

'He can tell a good story against himself, and his pleasure in the beauty of the countryside in which he works is infectious.' Daily Telegraph

'Full of warmth, wisdom and wit.' Field

'It is a pleasure to be in James Herriot's company.' Observer
