James Herriots books have had a lasting and profound effect on my life Amanda Owen

This beautiful Macmillan Collectors Library edition of If Only They Could Talk features an afterword by Yorkshire Shepherdess and author Amanda Owen.

To young James Herriot, fresh out of veterinary college, Yorkshire appears to offer an idyllic pocket of rural life in a rapidly changing world. But even life in the sleepy village of Darrowby has its challenges: from his new colleagues, brothers Siegfried and Tristan Farnon, to herds of semi-feral cattle and gruff farmers with incomprehensible accents.

Heart-breaking and hilarious in equal measure, If Only They Could Talk is the first volume of classic memoirs which chronicle James Herriots first years as country vet in the 1930s.

This beautiful Macmillan Collectors Library edition of If Only They Could Talk features an afterword by Yorkshire Shepherdess and author Amanda Owen.
