Zvrolka a koi historky (2026)

Cats are one of the main reasons James Herriot chose a career as a veterinarian. This book contains ten stories that entertain and move readers while showing that cats are not cold or aloof creatures, but wise beings capable of tenderness and surprising courage. You meet the majestic Alfred, the dignified guardian of a small confectioners shop, and Oscar, a badly injured stray tomcat who narrowly escapes death, as well as many other feline personalities, from inconspicuous country mousers and devoted companions to lonely people to independent wanderers with their own rules. Herriots books radiate deep compassion, honesty, humour and a love of life, both human and animal, from the first page to the last. His works inspired the British television series All Creatures Great and Small, which has so far reached six series and has also been shown on Czech Television.
