This is an easy book to read, yet it's intriguing enough to hold readers interested for hours on end. In All Creatures Great and Small Herriot does a great job pulling the reader into his story and his life. However, this story doesn't involve just animals, it also shows his life with Helen.
Herriot describes how busy a vet is, from going on strange calls to birthing calves at 2 a.m. Pumprey, a rich lady who feeds cake to her obese Pekingese, Tricki, and calls Herriot “Tricki's Dear Uncle Herriot.” She also comes up with strange names for problems that Tricki is having, such as Cracker Dog and FlopBott.
My favorite, and the most hilarious, is Mrs. Herriot shows you what a vet must endure, taking us into the wind, rain, snow and scorching hot weather of a field veterinarian. We grow with the advancing technology and realize how lucky we, and our animals, are to have it. In All Creatures Great and Small, James Herriot takes the reader through his life as a new veterinarian in Scotland during the 1930's.
