Vets might fly
Herriot, James2006
Book
A severe case of World War Two takes James Herriot away from his vet's life in the Dales and into a training camp somewhere in England. Square bashing in his uniform of RAF blue, he daydreams of the livestock he has left behind. A few months of married bliss, a lovers' nest in Darrowby and the wonders of home cooking are rudely interrupted for James Herriot by the Second World War. From the author whose books inspired the BBC series All Creatures Great and Small, Vets Might Fly, James Herriot's fifth volume of memoirs relocates him to a training camp somewhere in England. And in between square pounding and digging for victory, he dreams of the people and livestock he left behind him.
