 Critical Essay by Richard R. Lingeman
294 words, approx. 1 pages

Which may not be the best way to approach this supplementary collection of reminiscences of the Yorkshire country vet before World War II. It deserves more leisurely treatment, a few chapters at a time. Again Mr. Herriot is evoking those faraway days when even veterinarians made house calls in the m...
