If Only They Could Talk (Aka All Creatures Great And Small)

Following the life and adventures of the vet 'James Herriot' (pen name) in the Yorkshire Dales, the book fictionalises the real life events of the author. It is a very comedic tale, (and the first in a series for those who wish to read more!), full of distinctive and memorable characters as well. The book also neatly describes the ailments of the animals, as well as their treatment, so is interesting for those who wish to study veterinary science as well.
