Thanks, Alan. I'll add that to my wish list.
Meanwhile, I just bought an omnibus
volume of three of James Harriot's classics --
All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, and
All Things Wise and Wonderful. How's that for going in the exact opposite direction?!
I'm looking forward to reading these. Somehow, I never actually read them, though I certainly enjoyed the BBC/PBS series based on them.
