All Creatures Great and Small

A warm, gently comedic portrait of a young veterinarian's apprenticeship in 1930s Yorkshire, built on affection for its characters and rural setting.

James Herriot is a vet in Yorkshire, England, during the 1930s. He is assigned to the practice of Siegfried Farnon, who—together with his mischievous brother Tristan—already have a successful business. James undergoes a variety of adventures during his work, which are just as often caused by the characters of the county, including the Farnon brothers, as the animals in his care.
