Additional All things bright and beautiful Information

Two years ago when we published James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small, we called it a "miracle between covers." In the first major review of the book, Alfred Ames said: "If there is any justice, All Creatures Great and Small will become a classic of its kind. The publishers call it a miracle-- not too strong a word for a book that offers something for everyone: gusto, humor, pathos, information, romance, insight, style. It is vicarious living with one of the happiest and most admirable of people, a veterinary surgeon in the Yorkshire dales who can write superlatively well."

James, the miracle worker, has done it again. All Things Bright and Beautiful is precisely the warm and joyful sequel that readers all over America have been asking for. James is now married, and he and Helen live on the top floor of Skeldale House, while his former boss, now partner, Siegfried lives downstairs with Siegfried's brother Tristan. James continues the rich and rewarding day-to-day life of a small-town veterinarian, and we journey with him across the dales meeting a whole new cast of unforgettable characters-- humans, dogs, horses, lambs, parakeets-- all of them drawn with the same infinite fascination, affection, and insight that have made Herriot one of the most beloved authors of our time. This is the most loving book of the year to have-- or to give.


 

What Customers Say About All things bright and beautiful:

This book was very mildewy with brown edges to the book. I was going to send it back, but sprayed it with Melaleuca's Solumel and it took the smell and brown coloring away. I would not have been able to read it otherwise due to the smell.

Whether you love animals, England, or just great stories, James Herriot's memoirs of his career as a country vet will really hit the spot.Here is a collection of experients he has had in his career of working with animals in the English countryside, full of biting humor and observation that will have you laughing hysterically as well as more than a few that will touch your heart and bring a tear to your eye.His writing is oberservant, clever, and delightfully simple as to get the story across. It's like he is talking to you, and it is clear that he enjoyed his life.

Want to laugh and cry - then the Harriot books are for you. If you are an animal lover and want to read some really good, fascinating stories, please read these books. You will love them.

This autobiographical work is charming and delightful. Through them all, we get to sense Jim's love for his job, his patients, and the simple but grateful folk he came in contact with every day. All Things Bright and Beautiful by James Herriot is a true classic and I can see why it has been such a big seller through many decades. He began his career when the practice of being a vet was pretty much in the dark ages. I have already started James Herriot's Dog Stories. Jim Herriot was a vet in Yorkshire, England. Each chapter is a story about a different experience--birthing a lamb, caring for injured animals, judging a favorite pet contest, tasting homemade wine, etc.

He often had to come up with a diagnosis for a mystery ailment, and he had to deal with everything from copper deficiencies to hairballs. Sadly, I missed seeing his books when they were made into a television series. Many times, being a vet was also to be a detective. He was pretty much a country veterinarian, servicing farm animals for most of his years. Antibiotics were not yet on the horizon and many of today's vaccines weren't invented. As in life, not all of his stories have happy endings.I am happy to have finally acquainted myself with James Herriot and will definitely read more of his books.

He's an amazing talent on so many levels. Is there anyone who read ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL and who didn't rush right out and buy this one next. Read the real reviews by the real reviewers. I didn't think so. I gave the first one a rave review, and rightfully so, but somehow I don't recall enjoying it as much as I did this one. They're all true. This man lived in the moment, and he enjoyed all in life that is enjoyable.
