Vets in Congress (The Original Bestselling Vet Series Book 4)

Ten years on from Book 3 (Vets in the Belfry), this is London in the summer of 1976, the hottest since records began and the moment when, you may remember, it was so hot that there was a plague of ladybirds on the city’s pavements. HIGHLY INTELLIGENT ANIMAL LORE AND CANNY MORALISING The CountrymanVets in Congress is the fourth in this entertaining series of books based on the exploits of a vet who was practising in London and the Home Counties from the 1950s.Vet Michael Morton and his strikingly attractive wife Julia (introduced in It’s A Vet’s Life and herself a natural with animals, snakes especially) are looking forward to a rare moment alone, as their two boys have been whisked off for a holiday to the Scottish Highlands. Soon, however, and with characteristic inevitability, Vets in Congress brings us back to the rural home of Morton’s earliest adventures, the quintessentially English village of Craftley in Surrey, where the world’s problems find their own special resonance, and – as ever – Michael keeps the community spinning on an even axis through his good humour and down-to-earth integrity.SOME REVIEWS OF ALEX DUNCAN'S CLASSIC TALES –The fast and furious pace never conceals a hard core of veterinary experience THE COUNTRYMANLots of laughs and lots of fascinating animal revela
