It's been a long time since I posted book reviews, but I'm going to start again. This week, the book that I am reviewing is called, "Horses, Heifers and Hairy Pigs: The Life of a Yorkshire Vet" written by Julian Norton. Julian Norton worked at the same practice that James Herriot was involved with in Thirsk. He has recently left that veterinary practice, and he is working at another practice in Yorkshire. In addition to writing and working as a veterinary, Julian is one of the vet's featured in the British TV program called "The Yorkshire Vet."
This book tells about Julian's earlier life and his years in veterinary college at Cambridge. We learn about his early days in practice, and we learn about how he first came to Thirsk to work in the veterinary practice that James Herriot was a part of.
The book also details about how Julian met his wife, and it tells about some of the interests and activities that Julian likes to engage in apart from his vet work.
I highly recommend this book. It is well written, and the stories are fun to read. Julian Norton has written another book, and I am in the process of reading that one too. If you get the chance, you should watch the TV program. I also highly recommend it.
