Blossom Comes Home
Illustrated by Ruth Brown
A beautifully produced picture book with the quality of illustrations one would expect from Ruth Brown. The story is slight; about an old cow being sent to market, but who brings herself home and is kept on by the farmer who can't bear to part with her after all. Like all of James Herriot's stories, this tells of times long gone, before batteries and sow crates and BSE. It's none the worse for that, however, and has a charm and gentleness which is welcome in these grittier times.
