Biography

Herriot remembers his early apprenticeship years under the colorful tutelage of Dr. Siegfried Farnon who ran a happily untidy but highly respected practice. Most of Herriot's working hours were spent in barns dragging calves from laboring cows, often while snow drifted through the door in the small hours. But there are also tales of sturdy old dogs and kittens, starving piglets revitalized by new sow's milk, a pony saved by unorthodox measures, and ample insights into the ways of humans when coping with ailing beasts. Published in 1972; 442 pages.

Includes 15 paperback copies and 1 book club guide prepared by WCPL.
