About This Item
St. Martin's Press. New York. 1983. First American Edition (stated), first printing with requisite number line ending in 1. Fine copy with no jacket, as issued. James Herriot (1916-1995) was arguably one of the last generations of veterinarians who worked in a "mixed animal" practice. Dogs, cats, horses, cattle, pigs.... he worked on them all, a primary care veterinarian of his time. "A lame calf leads me to Helen" (chapter 15) and "Do dogs have souls" (chapter 16) illustrate just how diverse his work with animals truly was. Stories are fully illustrated with color photographs or sepia (brown) toned drawings. 8x10.25 in., heart-warming stories in 502 pages.
