by Bradford Brown

Paperback: 174 pages
Publisher: Tilbury House Publishers (March 24, 2006)

BoBook Info
This heartwarming book sbout the adventures of an American vet working in a small coastal town will surely appeal to fans of James Herriot. Although Dr Brown worked in both large and small animal practice, his writing focuses mainly on his farm work - from rescuing a drowning horse to trying to catch an irate monkey patient, and flying precariously to see a sick horse, and sliding down a snow slope onto incoming traffic, he manages to always see the lighter side of things in his work. Full of quirky and colorful characters and animal patients, entertaining and humourous, at the same time giving you a close-up and indepth look at what veterinary work was all about in Maine during the 1950s, this book is an unstoppable and fascinating read that you will find hard to put down!

Book Info
In this third book of the James Herriot series, the lovable vet takes up where he left off-- both in terms of the warmth, humor, and skill with which he writes, and in the story itself. It is World War Two and James has just been inducted into the RAF. We see him at training camp and we go back to Yorkshire-- on real trips as he breaks away to see Helen who is about to have a baby, and on trips of reverie as he recalls the Dales, the animals, and the Yorkshire people who have so enriched his life. We meet old friends again-- his partner Siegfried, the zany Tristan, the bon vivant Granville Bennett-- and scores of new folk, each with a story to tell. James Herriot is back, and, as one reviewer said of his work, "If ever you have loved a friend, human or otherwise, this is the book for you."
