Product Description

Product Description

The Best of James Herriot is one of the most extraordinary volumes ever devoted to the work and world of a contemporary writer. Within its covers are unforgettable episodes from the remarkable series of memoirs that began with All Creatures Great and Small-" the ones my family and I have laughed at over the years and the ones my readers have said they most enjoyed, " as Herriot, himself, put it. Yet the book is far more than a simple anthology: Its gorgeous pages also include hundreds of line drawings and color photographs, capturing Herriot's Yorkshire in a worthy complement to the writer's words. The 1991 publication of Every Living Thing, rendered the original edition of this book incomplete. This fall will mark the publication of the complete, definitive edition with the addition of five of his best, more recent stories, as well as new art. Once again The Best of James Herriot becomes the quintessential Herriot volume-one of those invaluable books that will be loved as much in decades to come as it is today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow..., Dec 31 2003
By Serge (North Brunswick, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
I've read Herriott since I was a teenager - I won't go into critiqueing the material - if you've ever read Herriott, you know how brilliant it is; if you have not, please do yourself a favor and read a single chapter - you won't need these reviews after that.

But I want to comment on this edition - I bought it as a gift to introduce my girlfriend to Herriott, and I am in love with this book. It's a gorgeous work, adding excellent illustrations and beautiful photography of the places Herriott roamed as a veterenarian - what more could you possible ask for? A total immersive experience. Thank you!

Now, if they could only give this treatment to Gerald Durrell, most of whose work is inexplicable out of print. Why???

5.0 out of 5 stars One of My Favorite Books, Mar 20 2000
By A Customer
I wouldn't pass this book up for anything. I've read all of the James Herriot books, and was not at all disappointed by this collection of stories. I wouldn't suggest reading this in lieu of his other books, but it makes a nice addition to the collection. The pictures fit perfectly with the vidid descriptions in the text.
