Every Living Thing

By James Herriot
Every Living Thing
Synopsis
Every Living Thing is a book for all those who find joy in animals and know the magic of wild places. It follows veterinarian Herriot, as he journeys among the remote hillside farms and valley towns of the Yorkshire Dales, caring for their inhabitants―both two- and four-legged. Throughout, Herriot's deep compassion, humor, and love of life shine as we laugh, cry, and delight in the portraits of his many varied animal patients and their equally varied owners.
