All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot

I grew up watching  this on public television and had never read the book. It is such a great read.  I wanted to keep on with the rest of the series, but other books await.  James is a veterinarian in England just starting out and lines himself up with quite a character.  Along with all of the wonderful, crazy strange and enjoyable people and animals he deals with he also has to deal with his boss Siegfried.  With Siegfried it is hard to tell when he is coming or going.  He also will tell James one thing and then do the opposite, all the time!  It is quite funny.  There are many touching stories and many more that make you laugh out loud.  If you haven't  read his books, you must.  I cannot wait to read some more.
