All Things Bright and Beautiful
James Herriot
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1998
Yet another instant classic
Is there anyone who read ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL and who didn't rush right out and buy this one next? 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. He's an amazing ...

James Herriot's Treasury of Inspirational Stories for Children
James Herriot
St. Martin's Griffin, 2005
Tender-hearted peak at the past
We bought this for our niece. The stories are heart-warming, but also sometimes realistically heart-breaking. I think it'll help any child develop sympathy and respect for other animals, plus city kids will get a glimpse of farm life.
We had read the comments about ...

All Things Wise and Wonderful
James Herriot
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1998
Definitely a classic
The third book in the series and you know exactly what to expect. Yes, folks, it is every bit as entertaining as the first two, and that's probably all you need to know. But I'll go ahead and mention that he spends some time in the RAF during World War II, which we ...

This is one of my favorite James Herriot titles and Christopher Timothy always does a great job reading and putting feeling into the text. I highly recommend each book and audio recording in the series.

Another classic by Herriot, a must for fans. Although dated, Herriots humour is timeless. His vivid imagery pulls the reader into the Yorkshire of the early 70's. His descriptive powers give this book vibrancy. Essentially a diary of a vets life. His triumphs ...

James Herriot's Yorkshire: A Guided Tour With the Beloved Veterinarian Through the Land of All Creatures ...
James Herriot
St. Martin's Griffin, 1981
Probably terrific in hardcover
I put five stars here because I'm sure the hardcover edition rates it. I thought I was ordering hardcover, but got a very cheap paperback instead. This is a book that NEEDS big pages and color pictures; forget about the paperback edition. I tossed it.
