The Christmas Day Kitten + Moses the Kitten + The Market Square Dog + Bonny's Big Day + Blossom Comes Home

Összefoglaló

So begins The Christmas Day Kitten, another true story from James Herriot's rich experience as a country vet. As always, the tale includes a vivid group of characters on two legs and four: Mrs. Pickering and her three stately Basset hounds, James himself, and Debbie, the self-possesed stray cat who makes a special contribution to Christmas at the Pickering house. This is one of James Herriot's own favorite stories, and it is sure to be one of yours. Color illustrations highlight the story of farmer John Skipton who, at Dr. Herriot's suggestion, enters his old carthorse Bonny in the Darrowly Pet Show. The country vet takes in a mysterious stray dog until the pooch finds shelter and employment at the county jail. Farmer Dakin makes the unhappy decision to send his old cow, Blossom, to market to make room for a younger animal, but Blossom has an unusual surprise in store. A bedraggled orphaned kitten is nursed back to health on a Yorkshire farm and when he recovers turns out to have a very unusual idea about the identity of his mother.
