Product Description
Review
"Whatever joy one found in [All Creatures Great and Small] is in [All Things Bright and Beautiful], only even more joyous; whatever laughter rippled from the throat in the reading of the first, finds even greater gusto in this one. It is funny, wry, simple in its story but as deep and perceptive of life's truths as the superlative sensitivity of the write and his talent can make it." --Dorothy Eastland, The Hartford Courant
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

As I crawled into bed and put my arm around Helen it occurred to me, not for the first time, that there are few pleasures in this world to compare with snuggling up to a nice woman when you are half frozen. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages

Book assignment on a great book!,
By A 12-year old reader (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Things Bright and Beautiful (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a really great book and the only biography I've really ever liked. It's about a guy (James Herriot) who is a country vet. This has stories about his work at a pet show, him when he's trying to court his future wife, and it has a lot about the personalities of the animals he treated. It also has a lot of his blunders, like when he got drunk (accidentally, I think) and went out to a farm. The people there were really religious, and he found out the next day the despised drinking! He didn't go out there again. All in all, it was a really good book, and I recommend it for any animal lovers or future vets out there.

a charming series,
This review is from: All Things Bright and Beautiful (Mass Market Paperback)
I read these books when I was younger and last summer I went to Yorkshire, England. I was surprised to find that the locals actually spoke they way they did in the book. I never met anyone quite as amusing as the characters in this book, though. I re-read this book and found myself laughing out loud almost every chapter. This book is well-written and very amusing. I recommend this book to people of all ages.
