E il Signore le creò (The Lord God made them all)

Herriot's stories really bring the animals to life — I wonder what led him to highlight their individual quirks and relationships so vividly.

The book paints such a cozy, nostalgic picture of farm life, but I’m curious if others felt the same sense of community and simplicity.

Herriot's lighthearted tone makes the serious parts hit harder — was that contrast intentional or just a natural reflection of his personality?
