James Herriot's Treasury for Children

Why we like it

James Herriot’s animal stories have exactly the sort of warmth that deserves to be passed from one generation to the next. This handsome treasury gathers his beloved children’s tales of farm animals, country life and the people who care for them, all told with the gentle humor and humanity that made All Creatures Great and Small a classic. A particularly lovely gift for a child who loves animals—and one adults will be very happy to read aloud.
