When I was five, I wanted to be an artist. I was crazy about drawing. When I wasn't fighting with my sibs over something, you'd likely find me holed away, either reading or drawing. My dad was an artist, you see. Sure, running that liquor store in the ghetto was what paid the bills, but it was fi...
These books have it all. You will laugh, you will cry and sometimes you will find yourself nodding in agreement. James Herriot is a wonderful story teller and the best thing is you don't have to read the books in one sitting. Each chapter can be read separately because each one has its own stor...

From the author whose books inspired the BBC series "All Creatures Great and Small", this first volume of unforgettable mem...
“Looks pretty hopeless, Mr. Bush,” I said as I leaned over the wall of the pen. “And what a pity, it’s a grand litter. Twelve of them, aren’t there?” The farmer grunted. “Aye, it allus happens like that.” He wasn’t a barrel of laughs at any time but now his long, hollow-cheeked face was set in gl...
