Publisher's Summary
A celebration of the different creatures - great and small - that this Yorkshire vet has come to know and love.
Yorkshire vet Julian Norton has spent his days as a mixed practice vet treating animals across the bucolic Yorkshire Dales. Julian's voice and humour - well known from his titular role in Channel 5's long-running series The Yorkshire Vet - leap out every minute as stories of drama and excitement unfold.
Whether treating dogs, cows or sheep, Julian has come to recognise and appreciate the very particular ways in which healthy and happy animals express their well-being and contentment. Lambs will skip and gambol, cows will ruminate placidly and the gentle sounds and soft curious facial expression of alpacas or llamas are enough to lift the spirits and warm the coldest of hearts.
Here in All Creatures, Julian tells the stories of each of the eight species he has the good fortune to care for every day. He shares the heartwarming and life-affirming characteristics of animal happiness and once again reminds us of the power these creatures have to bring joy to us all.
