Complete James Herriot (Set of 8 volumes)  (English, Paperback, James Herriot)

1) Every Living Thing
The fifth and final volume of James Herriot's bestselling series of animal stories now available in unabridged CD format for the first time. Herriot's heartwarming story collections brings back familiar friends (including old favorites such as Tricki Woo) and introduces new ones, including Herriot's children Rosie and Jimmy and the marvelously eccentric Calum Buchanan. These programs provide a perfect opportunity for existing fans of Herriot's work to reacquaint themselves with his writing, and for those who've never read him to hear what generations of animal lovers have already discovered: James Herriot is that rarest of creatures, a genuine master storyteller.

2) The Lord God Made Them All
The war is over, the RAF uniform has been handed in and James Herriot goes back where he ought to be - at work in the dales around Darrowby.

Much has changed, but the blunt-spoken Yorkshire folk and the host of four-legged patients are still the same. So is their vet, who doesn't yet know that literary success is just around the corner...

"After an evening among his tales, anyone with as much as a dog or a budgerigar will feel he should move to Darrowby at once" (Yorkshire Post)

3) Vets Might Fly
A few months of married bliss, a lovers nest in Darrowby and the wonders of home cooking are rudely interrupted for James Herriot by the Second World War. James Herriot's fifth volume of memoirs relocates him to a training camp somewhere in England. And in between square pounding and digging for victory, he dreams of the people and livestock he left behind him.

4) It Shouldn't Happen To be a vet
How on earth did James Herriot come to be sitting on a high Yorkshire moor, smelling vaguely of cows? James isnt 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.

5) Vet in a spin
James Herriot, strapped into the cockpit of a Tiger Moth trainer, feels rather out of place, but he hasn't found a new profession and it surely won't be long before the RAF come round to his point of view...

James Herriot's sixth volume of unforgettable memoirs sees him dreaming of the day when he can rejoin his wife Helen, little son Jimmy, veterinary partner Siegfried, the eternal student Tristan - and all the old Darrowby crows, both two-legged and four.

6) Let Sleeping vets lie
With two years experience behind him, James Herriot still feels privileged working on the beautiful Yorkshire moors as assistant vet at the Darrowby practice. Full of hilarious tales and a rich cast of supporting characters, this third volume of memoirs is sure to delight hardened fans and new readers of James Herriot titles alike.

7) If only they could talk
When the newly qualified vet, James Herriot, arrives in the small Yorkshire village of Darrowby, he has no idea of the new friends he will meet or adventures that lie ahead. This work chronicles James Herriot's first years as a country vet. It is a book for those who find laughter and joy in animals, and who understand the magic of countryside.

8) Vet in harness
The Yorkshire dales have never seemed more beautiful for James - now he has a lovely wife by his side, a partner's plate on the gate and the usual menagerie of farm animals, pets and owners demanding his constant attention and teaching him a few lessons along the way.

All of the old Darrowby friends are on top form - Siegfried thrashes round the practice, Tristan occasionally buckles down for finals and James is signed up for a local cricket team.
