From the Book Jacket:
Since the publication of Moses the Kitten in 1984, our children have found a delightful friend in James Herriot. His award-winning storybooks for young readers-many adapted from tales in All Creatures Great and Small and Herriot's other bestsellers-bring the farmyard world of Herriot's Yorkshire to radiant life. Featuring a host of adorable animals and colorful townsfolk, each of the stories is narrated by the country vet himself, with all the warmth, caring, and good humor that have made James Herriot beloved the world over.
Now, for the first time, all of the country vet's books for children have been collected in one volume: James Herriot's Treasury for Children. Each story is presented in its original, oversize, full- color format, accompanied by the warm, evocative illustrations of Peter Barrett and Ruth Brown. Together they comprise a wondrous Herriot menagerie, a family treasure that will be passed, with joy and affection, from generation to generation.

includes:
Moses the Kitten
