Product Description
From AudioFile
We meet an unforgettable cast of characters, animal and human, in the second volume of Herriot's memoirs. Herriot is now Siegfried's partner in the country veterinary practice, and we go with him on his rounds, cheering his successes, mourning his losses, and smiling at the humor he finds so often. Christopher Timothy, who played James Herriot in the BBC version of "All Creatures Great and Small," recreates a variety of rich Yorkshire accents impeccably and brings these stories of small town and country life before WWII vividly alive. Each character has a distinct voice and personality, and you end the book wanting to hear more about each one. Masterfully narrated, this is a joy to listen to.

Review
"The kind of book that makes an evening seem a little warmer and your pet a bit more important."—The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A very warm, very engaging read . . . the reader falls totally under his spell."—The Associated Press
"Whether sad or glad, each story shows his affection for animals and people . . . this man is a celebrant of life."—Chicago Tribune
"Herriot is both tender and wise . . . All Things Bright and Beautiful is a book to be happy with."—The Boston Globe
"You had better read this book yourself. It's a treat, a rare one, and God knows we all need all treat these days."—The Washington Post
"Human beings just naturally respond to a writer as lovable, wholesome, eloquent, humorous and well-stocked with anecdotes as James Herriot. He offers a mastery of both the comic and the tragic."—Chicago Tribune
"All Things Bright and Beautiful is like a visit to a loved place inhabited by dear friends . . . certainly the happiest book so far this season"—The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)
"James Herriot has served up another warm, witty, wonderful book in All Things Bright and Beautiful."—The Indianapolis News
"It is impossible to speak of this second book without thinking strongly of the first. For it is truly a repeated 'miracle' as All Creatures Great and Small was described. Whatever joy one found in the first is in the second, 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 writer and his talent can make it. Best seller list, look out!"—The Hartford Courant
"Humour, realism, sensitivity, earthiness; animals comic and tragic; and people droll, pathetic, courageous, eccentric—all of whom he views with the same gentle compassion and a lively sense of the sad, the ridiculous, and the admirable."—The Columbus Dispatch
"Superb, a book to be enjoyed in one sitting or in bits and pieces to make it last longer."—Library Journal

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
