    @rochellaine Hey! We were just talking about historical books in Writer’s Corner, and I forgot to ask you: Have you ever read or heard of James Herriot? He was a Scottish veterinarian who moved to mid-England to work with animals in the mid 1930s. And he wrote a series of really fun books about his career and his life! It’s a series of four books, the first of which is called “All Creatures Great and Small.” I’d recommend them! (Disclaimer: There’s a bit of language)

    Also, there is a TV show based on those books called All Creatures Great and Small, and I think you should watch that, too! It was filmed in the late 1970s and into the ’80s. It’s very close to the books, and the actors are delightful (including my favorite actor)

    Just thought you might be interested to hear about it 😉

    • @dekreel Yes! I have heard of James Herriot. I have a (big) picture book with several of his stories illustrated, and I don’t know what the original books looked like, but I really enjoyed the stories in that. I’ll have to look up the show! (I watch mostly stuff from before 1967, but I’ll make the exception to prove the rule here. 🙂 )
