I read this book for the first time many years ago, maybe when the first TV series ran. In my mind, now, I'm picturing the current series' landscape and actors, though some of them don't fit the author's descriptions. This was like reading it anew and I enjoyed it all even the birthings and other surgical details. ( ) A beautiful Border Collie graces the front cover! HIs unusual interview with Siegfried Farnon at Skeldale House opens his life to an incredibly challenging Country Veterinary practice, eventually leading to a partnership. Both farm and pet owners and dogs like Tricki inspire his days and keep him up many nights wandering and struggling through ice, snow and mud, Remaining mystery is why they didn't hire a Bill Collector and why he did not insist on safe cars! Las divertidas experiencias de un aprendiz de veterinario en la Inglaterra rural de los años treinta. Desde su publicación, estas memorias han sido el libro de referencia de millones de amantes de la naturaleza. Tiernas, divertidas y embebidas en el ambiente bucólico de la campiña inglesa, son uno de los testimonios escritos más celebrados sobre el amor por los animales, el compañerismo y la vida rural en todo su esplendor. 4.5 stars This book made me want to become a country vet, and I don't particularly like animals! I loved Herriot's stories of the unique characters in town, and his descriptions of the various procedures he performed on the animals. Honestly, the only downside is that there is quite a lot of profanity, especially God's name used as a curse word. I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook! I generally liked all the accents , but the narrator did sometimes run his sentences together, making it harder to understand who was saying what. I also liked the music at the beginning and ending of each disc, but disliked that it overlapped with the narration, making it harder to hear the actual book. I read this for the first time around 2003 when we started using Sonlight curriculum. I reread it this month. I enjoyed it a lot more the first time through. While the book is great and I enjoy his storytelling, his stories do seem to become repetitive to a degree eventually. I would still recommend this book to anyone who loves animals or England. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Biography & Autobiography.
Nonfiction.
HTML:From a Yorkshire veterinarian and a "wise and wonderful writer": The New York Times bestseller and basis for the beloved BBC series of the same name (The Boston Globe). In the rolling dales of Yorkshire, a simple, rural region of northern England, a young veterinarian from Sunderland joins a new practice. A stranger in a strange land, he must quickly learn the odd dialect and humorous ways of the locals, master outdated equipment, and do his best to mend, treat, and heal pets and livestock alike. This witty and heartwarming collection, based on the author's own experiences, became an international success, spawning sequels and winning over animal lovers everywhere. Perhaps better than any other writer, James Herriot reveals the ties that bind us to the creatures in our lives. No library descriptions found. |
