Following in the rich tradition of James Herriot and Gerald Durrell, Hollins offers a refreshingly remote perspective based on his four decades of veterinary practice, specifically his time spent as the senior resident vet across the British Overseas Territories of the South Atlantic. Highly praised across the national press, the Daily Mail called it a \"warm-hearted book [that] makes you full of admiration for Hollins's spirit of adventure,\" while the Daily Telegraph noted \"there is much to love, with each chapter a vignette of island life against a backdrop of spectacular remoteness.\" This untouched, unread paperback is a flawless selection for fans of natural history, travelogues, and animal adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat happens when your veterinary territory spans thousands of miles of open ocean? In Vet at the End of the Earth, Jonathan Hollins charts his unforgettable adventures caring for creatures great and small across the isolated South Atlantic islands of the Falklands, St Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha. The life of an island vet is anything but ordinary—Hollins’s patients range from an elderly tabby cat acting as an official RAF mascot to Jonathan, a legendary 200-year-old giant tortoise residing on the St Helena governor's lawn. Whether tackling invasive species, tracking mystery animals, or braving rugged terrains to perform emergency surgeries, Hollins shares his stories with brilliant wit, ingenuity, and deep compassion. Along the way, he paints a vivid portrait of the unique local histories and island cultures that thrive far from the rush of continental life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54011845968211,"sku":"4315","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260616_111356.jpg?v=1781619811","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/vet-at-the-end-of-the-earth-jonathan-hollins","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
