Let Sleeping Vets Lie

Great book. I would have liked to have known that these are not "new" stories, but part of his larger volumes. I enjoy the small size and I don't mind rereading his stories.

Caution: This book could cause death by laughter...

Another classic by Herriot, a must for fans. Although dated, Herriots humour is timeless. His vivid imagery pulls the reader into the Yorkshire of the early 70's. His descriptive powers give this book vibrancy. Essentially a diary of a vets life. His triumphs (Mrs. Bonds cats) and tribulations (the horse-show and Tristian). Somehow the tribulations are more enjoyable.....
