And with his recent volumes of hugely popular illustrated tales – James Herriot’s Cat Stories and James Herriot’s Favourite Dog Stories – his name has been introduced to a whole new generation of readers. Now, this gorgeous new collection brings together ten of his best-loved stories celebrating all the creatures in his wonderful world – creatures bright and beautiful, great and small.
Here are lambs, horses, cows, dogs, even a whimsical pig or two, along with their colourful human counterparts – all brought vividly to life by Herriot’s storytelling magic. From a prickly horse young James encountered early in his veterinary-school experience, through Dorothy the goat – star of the entrancing holiday tale “There’s Christmas – and Christmas”– we are reacquainted with many of the most charming members of Herriot’s Yorkshire menagerie. Once again illuminated by the radiant watercolours of Lesley Holmes, each of Herriot’s stories captures the kind of warmth and humour that comes with old, familiar friendship. With a special introduction by Herriot’s own son, Jim, the stories in this bright new collection will charm readers of any age. Price: 10.00 CDN | See Full Description |
 | 2. | James Herriot's CAT STORIES Herriot, James St Martin's Press 1994 Hardcover, DJ New copy A delightful litter of cat stories from the master storyteller of North Yorkshire. While (especially before WW II) country vets rarely treated house pets, Herriot was an exception. Over the years, he not only treated a wide range of feline ailments but met and befriended many colorful and devoted cat owners--and these stories are as much about them as about the animals. There's Mr. Ireson, an eccentric world traveler and lover of poetry who lives in a makeshift tarpaulin house with petite little Emily, his cat whom Herriot saves from a difficult delivery with an emergency caesarean.And, most touchingly, there's the tale of Debbie, a stray who frequently visits the plush home of Mrs. Ainsworth, where she's fed and allowed to sit by the warm fire but stays for only a precious few minutes each time--but where, with her dying breath, she brings her tiny kitten on Christmas Day. A must for Herriot followers and cat lovers alike. Price: 10.00 CDN | See Full Description |
