«The Yorkshire dales have never seemed more beautiful for James — now he has a lovely wife by his side, a partner's plate on the gate and the usual menagerie of farm animals, pets and owners demanding his constant attention and teaching him a few lessons along the way. All of the old Darrowby friends are on top form — Siegfried thrashes round the practice, Tristan occasionally buckles down for finals, and James is signed up for a local cricket team. 'He can tell a good story against himself, and his pleasure in the beauty of the countryside in which he works is infectious', observes «The Daily Telegraph». 'Full of warmth, wisdom and wit' — «The Field». 'It is a pleasure to be in James Herriot's company' — «Observer».»
