He captures not only the odd and amazing and poignant animal stories so brilliantly, but even more than that, captures human life, outlook, and interactions better than most writers I know. But what I didn't realize was how much more these books are more than just animal stories. For the animal lovers out there, these are a no-brainer fabulous. The books are autobiographical about the author's life as a country veterinarian in the rural Yorkshire Dales in northern England. However, as soon as I began the first book in this 5 book series, I realized that I'd been totally missing out by just reading the children's versions. My mom was really into the BBC show based on the books in the 80s and we had some of the stories that had been adapted to children's books.
