About This Item
1st US edition of the author's first book, source for two excellent series on Masterpiece Theater, one in the 1980's, and the current series, now in it's third season. St. Martin's rarely designated first editions at this time, choosing to only designate additional printings. This copy is fine in green boards, in an about fine p/c dw with a tiny closed nick atop the rear edge of the spine. Lovely copy of an uncommon book in the first edition.
Synopsis
Here is the lightly amusing, feel-good memoir of Dr. James Herriot, a rural veterinarian in the Yorkshire countryside in the late 1930's. His anecdotes and colorful stories draw you into his world and make it real around you; the sun on your face, the kick from an annoyed horse, the birth of twin calves, and more.
