'He can tell a good story against himself, and his pleasure in the beauty of the countryside in which he works is infectious', observes «The Daily Telegraph». 'Full of warmth, wisdom and wit' — «The Field». 'It is a pleasure to be in James Herriot's company' — «Observer».

Throw in his first encounters with Helen, the beautiful daughter of a local farmer, and this year looks to be as eventful as the last...From the author whose books inspired the BBC series «All Creatures Great and Small», «It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet» is a book for all those who find laughter and joy in animals, and who know and understand the magic and beauty of Britain's wild places. 'I grew up reading James Herriot's books and I'm delighted that thirty years on, they are still every bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were then' — Kate Humble.

On the one hand there are his new colleagues, Siegfried and Tristan Farnon, two brothers who attract a constant stream of local girls to whom James is strangely invisible. On the other he must contend with herds of semi-feral cattle, gruff farmers with incomprehensible accents and an overweight Pekingese called Tricki Woo Heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measure, If Only They Could Talk is a book for all those who find laughter and joy in animals, and who know and understand the magic and beauty of Britain's wild places. 'Bulls with sunstroke, pigs on the run and a cake-eating Peke with a betting habit... I grew up reading James Herriot's book and I'm delighted that thirty years on they are still every bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were then' Kate Humble 'It's a pleasure to be in James Herriot's company' Observer 'After an evening among his tales, anyone with as much as a dog or a budgerigar will feel he should move to Darrowby at once' Yorkshire Post.
