IN the midst of World War Two, James is training for the Royal Air Force, while going home to Yorkshire whenever possible to see his very pregnant wife, Helen. Musing on past adventures through the dales, visiting with old friends, and introducing scores of new and amusing charcters -- animal and human alike -- Herriot enthralls us once again with his uncanny ability to spin a most engaging and heartfelt yarn.

The world's most beloved veterinarian offers a third volume in his classic series of tales of life in the Yorkshire Dales--the warm and joyful sequel to All Creatures Great and Small and All Things Bright and Beautiful.
