The fourth volume of memoirs from the author who inspired the BBC and Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small.

Finally home from London after his wartime service in the RAF, James Herriot is settling back into life as a country vet. While the world has changed after the war, the blunt Yorkshire clients and menagerie of beasts with weird and wonderful ailments remain the same. But between his young son, Jimmy, trailing him around copying his every move, stubborn farmers refusing to try his 'new-fangled treatments, and a goat that has eaten 293 tomatoes, Darrowby is far from quiet. And with another baby on the way, life is about to get even more chaotic.

Since they were first published, James Herriot's memoirs have sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny, and touching, The Lord God Made Them All is a heart-warming story of determination, love, and companionship from one of Britain's best-loved authors.

I grew up reading James Herriot's books, and I'm delighted that thirty years on, they are still every bit as charming, heartwarming, and laugh-out-loud funny as they were then - Kate Humble
