About the Book:

How on earth did James Herriot come to be sitting on a high Yorkshire moor, smelling vaguely of cows? James isn't sure, but he knows that he loves it. This second hilarious volume of memoirs contains more tales of James' unpredictable boss Siegfried Farnon, his charming student brother Tristan, animal mayhem galore and his first encounters with a beautiful girl called Helen. 

  

My Rating & Thoughts:    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I listened to the audiobook narrated by the actor, Christopher Timothy, who played Herriot in the BBC version of All Creators Great and Small that I remember watching with my parents. James is now in his second year of practice in Darrowby and still learning and getting to know the quirks of the country folk. There are some really funny stories he shares, and Siegfried is exasperating at times, but it's funny to listen to Herriot share his experiences working with him. I was engaged throughout most of the book.
