PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
James Herriot has swapped his wellies for a flying jacket, but he can't wait to get back to the practice and his old Darrowby friends.
Description
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 . . .
From the author whose books inspired the BBC series All Creatures Great and Small, Vet in a Spin, 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 cows, both two-legged and four.
Critic Reviews
“He can tell a good story against himself, and his pleasure in the beauty of the countryside in which he works is infectious.”

About the Author

He wrote many books about Yorkshire country life, including some for children, but he is best known for his memoirs, beginning with If Only They Could Talk. The books were televised in the enormously popular series All Creatures Great and Small.
