Summary
Helen’s birthday is meant to be a simple, pleasant affair—just a quiet evening with James, a homemade cake from Mrs. Hall, and perhaps a bit of lighthearted teasing from Siegfried and Tristan. But when an emergency house call introduces them to Bismarck, the most ludicrously overweight cat they’ve ever seen, things quickly spiral into chaos. Between trying to convince the cat’s doting owner that her beloved pet is in desperate need of a diet, Tristan’s ill-advised attempts to carry the beast, and an unfortunate encounter between the birthday cake and a very determined feline, Helen’s birthday turns out to be far more eventful than she could have imagined.

Summary
When Tristan arrives at Skeldale House with a box of fresh baked goods from Darrowby’s finest bakery, he declares it a treat for all—a rare act of generosity that immediately arouses Siegfried’s suspicions. Tristan insists that these pastries will fortify the spirit and sustain them on their rounds.
Unfortunately, the animals of the Yorkshire Dales have other plans.
Between a pastry-loving Labrador, a mischievous goat, and a pony with a refined palate, Tristan’s well-intentioned treats quickly start disappearing one by one. Soon, the battle to protect the remaining baked goods becomes as intense as any difficult calving.
Will anyone at Skeldale House actually get to enjoy Tristan’s bakery bounty? Or will the entire menagerie of Yorkshire farm animals have their fill first?

Siegfried Farnon Vs. The Laws of Nature by NameStartsWithN
Fandoms: All Creatures Great and Small (TV 2020), All Creatures Great and Small - James Herriot, All Creatures Great and Small (TV 1978)

Summary
Siegfried Farnon prides himself on his ability to educate the masses, which is why he agrees—against his better judgment—to give a lecture on the finer points of goat care at the Darrowby Farmers’ Cooperative. It is an event meant to be dignified, professional, and entirely theoretical.
Naturally, a goat named Matilda has other ideas.
As Siegfried waxes poetic on the principles of caprine obstetrics, a very pregnant and very determined goat goes into labor right in front of his audience. But Siegfried is nothing if not composed, and he’ll be damned if he lets something as trivial as a live birth get in the way of his lecture.
James, Helen, and Mrs. Hall are there to witness the chaos unfold, offering varying degrees of help and amusement as the goat refuses to make things easy.
Goat midwifery, professional pride, and a healthy dose of Farnon stubbornness collide in this unforgettable night in Darrowby.

Summary
The war looms on the horizon, casting long shadows over Skeldale House. When James receives his call-up papers, Helen struggles with the weight of uncertainty.

And Tristan… well, Tristan is still Tristan, trying to keep spirits high even as everything changes. A story of love, duty, and the quiet, steadfast moments that hold them together.

Summary
James Herriot has faced down bulls, horses, and the occasional furious farmer, but nothing quite prepares him for Jemima: an enormous, ill-tempered house cat who has decided she is not giving birth today, thank you very much.
Armed with only his wits, a towel, and a deep well of misplaced optimism, James sets out to help. Siegfried is skeptical, Mrs. Hall is amused, and Helen is going to have a lot of questions about the fresh set of scratches on his arms.
Just another day in the life of Darrowby’s most beleaguered vet.
