Herriot, James All Creatures Great and Small
New York, New York, U.S.A. St Martins Pr 1998 0312965788 / 9780312965785 Paperback Mass Market Paperback Brand New, Unopened, Unread, G 172 x 110mm
These are the stories that catapulted James Herriot to literary fame. When this book was first published, it was merely a simple volume of memoirs by an unknown Scottish veterinarian. But within a year, the book became recognized as a masterpiece. And in the three decades that followed, Dr. Herriot became one of the most universally loved authors of our time. In this first volume of memoirs, then-newly-qualified vet James Herriot arrives in the small Yorkshire village of Darrowby and he has no idea what to expect. How will he get on with his new boss? With the local farmers? And what will the animals think? This program is filled with hilarious and touching tales of the unpredictable Sigfriend Farnon, Sigfreid's zany brother, Tristan, and Herriot's first encounters with a beautiful girl called Helen. My opinion. One of the most charming books ever published - without ever being twee. CONDITION: Brand new paperback copy, fresh from the publisher - unopened, unread - gift quality. 435 pages, 175mm x 110mm cm. Published by St Martins

Schwartz, Charlotte Australian Kelpie : A Comprehensive Owner's Guide
New Jersey Kennel Club Books 2007 1593783698 / 9781593783693 Hard Cover Brand New, Unopened, Unread, 215mm 170mm
A nineteenth-century Australian creation, the Kelpie is a working dog through and through. Handsome and trainable though he may be, the breed rarely excels as a house pet and is truly at “home on the range.” The breed’s intense herding instincts, pulsing through the brain and veins of every dog, directs the Kelpie to round up, race and rally every moving thing in his path. Here is an intelligent, independent-thinking dog with a one-track mind: the Kelpie has irrepressible devotion to his work. Written by award-winning canine journalist and author Charlotte Schwartz, this Special Rare-Breed Edition tells the unique story of the Kelpie in its homeland Down Under, detailing the breed’s characteristics, origin and description. As the breed’s working standard describes, the Kelpie should be “a medium sized, lithe, active, strongly muscled dog” who possesses an “open, friendly, active but placid disposition.” The author discusses the selection of a Kelpie puppy and the general maintenance of the dog, including feeding, grooming and exercising. The key to keeping Kelpies is keeping them busy and avoiding boredom at all costs. The author warns pet owners about the potential behavioral problems that can develop in the bored Kelpie and advises how to avoid these issues. A thorough, up-to-date chapter on canine healthcare by veterinarian Dr. Lowell Ackerman provides essential information about inoculations, infectious diseases, parasite prevention and much more. 154 pages, profusely illustrated.
