Every Living Thing by James Herriot is a heartwarming collection of stories that takes readers into the life of a country veterinarian in rural England during the early 1950s. Through a series of vignettes, the book explores the adventures and challenges faced by the protagonist as he navigates his way through treating various farm and domestic animals, encountering wild creatures, and building relationships with farmers and fellow veterinarians. The writing style captures the essence of the Yorkshire Dales, bringing to life the landscapes, the people, and the animals with a charm and love that is both engaging and heartfelt.

From The Publisher:
James Herriot's final work and last in his beloved series of animal stories
This fifth and final of James Herriot's heartwarming story collections brings back familiar friends (including old favorites such as Tricki Woo) and introduces new ones, including Herriot's children Rosie and Jimmy and the marvelously eccentric vet Calum Buchanan.
As James grows older, he finds that change comes even to his beloved Yorkshire-but not necessarily bad, as he watches his own two children come to share and participate in his deep love of the animal world. Herriot's last memoir, Every Living Thing is a truly heartwarming read, burstingly full of his deep joy in life, sense of humor, and appreciation of the world around him.
