 Author Name: Herriot, JamesBinding: Hardcover, DJBook Condition: New copy Publisher: St Martin's Press 1994 ISBN Number: 0312113420 / 9780312113421 Seller ID: 0312113420 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 = 10.25 USD |
