Picked this up at the Book Thing, for BC.
From the cover -
Yorkshire is Herriot country - restless winds ruffling the heather on the lonely moors, rustic stone walls stretching across lush green dales, gentle sheep grazing near isolated farmhouses. All the cherished scenes and memorable characters of the wonderful Herriot books come to life as the world's most beloved veterinarian takes you to his favorite places... and in warm, loving, deeply enriching commentary, shares with you memories of his life with Helen, Siegfried, Tristan and the special animals he has so tenderly cared for in this hauntingly beautiful corner of England.

I had thought to read this, but since I've never read any of his vet tales I guess I'll pass on this one too. (I wish I had time to read everything I'm interested in ;)
I'll be sending this one out in TheGoalieGirl's Travel Narrative bookbox. Hope someone enjoys it.

This book arrived home in my bookbox. Adding this to my TBR pile.
Thanks to Oldest TBR Read and Release Challenge 2018 I finally picked this book up, as it was the oldest registered book on my bookshelf. I'm embarassed to admit I've had it for 8 years now and have never picked it up.
I've never read any of this books before but I love England and absolutely could not put this down. It is filled with amazing photos (black and white) and interesting glimpses to life in his part of the country. Made me want to go hop on a plane and go explore Yorkshire. I've passed through York (took a horse to a vet in York in 2006, when I was working at a horse farm in Lancashire).
Will be moving this along again soon.
