With a baggage of fresh knowledge and a veterinary diploma, young James Harriot arrives in Darrowby, a small town lost among the hills of Yorkshire. No, the textbooks did not say a word about the realities of the English countryside, the customs of local farmers and the real work of a veterinarian, which so dreamed of Harriot. But no matter what ridiculous situations he did not get into, no matter what difficulties he faced, he always helped him out true English sense of humor and endless love for animals. Alfred White (real name James Herriot) returned to his adventures as an aspiring veterinarian several decades later (he began writing at the age of 50). A collection of his funny and touching short stories, Of All Creatures Great and Small, compiled from his first two books, came out in 1972 and was a huge success. This book was followed by others. Today, the name of Herriot is known throughout the world, his works are popular among readers of different generations and translated into dozens of languages. In Russian, the book was first published in 1985 in an abridged form, with the omission of some fragments and chapters. The present edition presents the full translation with restored bills.
