Vet In A Village

by Hugh Lasgarn

Moving to Welbury, a village close to the Welsh Border, Hugh's first call is to attend a Hereford bull knocked down by a car. When tentatively prodded, the bull responds by leaping to its feet and ramming the nearby police car. This incident sets the tone for Hugh's new life. Often hilarious, often sad, life is never dull. Whether he is calming a ferocious Great Dane by donning a flying helmet or treating a cricket-playing Corgi for a black eye, Hugh Lasgarn's many fans will relish every page of this entertaining volume.

Samaa sarjaa muiden kirjailijan kirjojen kanssa ja näinollen siis hyvää kesälukemista.

Okay, so this was a book I picked up from my hotel lobby in Goa, hoping it would be something like the works of P.G. Wodehouse, instead it turned out to be the hijinks of a bumbling fool acting as a vet in a village being a know it all, when in fact he doesn't know-it-all.

The premise seems funny enough right? Well, it ain't.

So, if you run into this one at your hotel's lobby, stay away.

Does it matter if I read it via 'Reader's Digest'? It was the book section selection for May 1991 (I think). Regardless, I loved reading about Hugh and his adventures with the locals. One of his earliest anecdotes, a bull in a car accident, sticks in my mind to this day. A wonderful book I'd love to read again.
