This the third book James Harriot wrote. The tales are of top quality, although James is remineded of a memory at the oddist times, including while flying an airplane. The book brings back the same beloved characters of Triston, Helen, Siegfried, Ms. Hall, alomg with a guest apperance or two by my favorite character, Grandville Bennett. The tales are amusing, then sad, then touching and sad, then touching, sad, and amusing, etc. Fantastic quality, but the first book, All Creatures Fantastic and Tiny, is, in my opinion, the best book Harriot wrote.

James Herriot is not only a vet. He could described the feelings and frustrations of creatures
that are simply regarded as animals but have characters and traits more worthy of homo sapiens.
After reading it, one wish to be dog!

Following his first 2 books, this one adds Herriot’s war tales to his animal tales, and the man is an incomparable alchemist. The impossible mixture works brilliantly. Separated from his wife by World War II, he tells of learning to be a soldier, learning to glide, then getting to place the service before the Germans could fire a shot in rage in his direction, for which the world can be very much grateful. He tells a tale near to my heart when a blind man’s guide dog falls victim to poison. I’ve never had to live that nightmare with any of my Seeing Eye dogs, but if I ever did I only wish the vet could be as kind, or as successful. He tells of being man-handled by a military “dentist,” whose treatment scars him for life. And many more tales fill this third volume of the incomparable series. The fourth was something of a thudder, so it might do you well to stop here.

I read his books as a teen and loved them. Bought the whole set for my grandsons, [teens]. They laughed until they cried. [so did I].
