review 1: I was delighted to win the giveaway for Favorite Dog Stories by James Herriot and looked forward to being reacquainted with characters I had not visited for several decades. I was not disappointed. The book itself should be on every bedside and coffee table. This slim hardback volume contains wonderful watercolors that perfectly illustrate scenes from the various stories. Although focused on the various dog characters, the book is a delightful study of the interaction of the animals and their owners set against the background of a Yorkshire village. Herriot’s gift for storytelling is such that he effortlessly blends all the elements of a good tale and makes reading a pleasure. This is a book that will be well-thumbed over. Buy it, you will never be unhappy with your ch... moreoice.
review 2: From Gyp (the dog with only one woof) to Brandy (who gets his tongue stuck in aluminum can lids) to Tricki Woo, the curiously anthropomorphic prince of all Pekingese, James Herriot conveys his love for each dog, his bewilderment at their eccentricities (and their owners') and the true kooky nature of any creature great or small. These are not new stories, however; they're taken from the novels--mostly from All Creatures, if I remember correctly. less
