About this listen

The second volume of James Herriot's best-selling memoirs about the trials and tribulations of being a rural vet.

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 named Helen.

Same content as 1st book

Slightly disappointed that many of the stories here are from the first book, which I felt wasted a credit
