From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "This compilation of some of James Herriot's (Alf Wight's) magnificent stories is a wonderful. I found these stories to be a very relaxing, humorous, and entertaining read. I recommend it very highly."; "I have rarely belly laughed as hard as I did over this book. Some parts I had to read fast because they made me want to cry, but most of it just was so hilarious. James Herriot really knew how to tell a story. Sometime I would like to read all his books, but I'm so glad I finally got to at least read his Best Of."; "These stories have inspired me to take a trip to Yorkshire this Fall. Absolutely terrific!"; "Even though I already have a complete collection of his stories this was a great addition because of the illustrations, photos, and a wealth of sidenotes."; "One of the loveliest, most endearing books I have ever read. The books is gorgeous and filled with beautiful, full-color illustrations and fun recipes to try. Each story was heartwarming in a different and unexpected way. Such a beautifully written legacy James Herriot has created and left for us to enjoy so many years later."
