Ingram

The war is over and James Herriot goes back to work in the Yorkshire Dales. It is the 1950s, and James and Helen have two growing children, Rosie and Jimmy. Plenty has changed in Darrowby, but the blunt-spoken local folk and their stream of four-legged patients are still the same. So is their vet, who doesn't know that literary success is just around the corner. 12 cassettes. --Ce texte provient de la Audio Cassette édition.


From the Publisher

The most heart heartwarming storyteller of our time returns with his lovely wife Helen, irrepressible old friends Tristan and Siegfreid, and a wonderful Yorkshire community--human and animal-bursting with love. Joy surprise and hilarious adventure abound in another touching, delightful memoir by the world's most beloved veterinarian.

3.0étoiles sur 5 A Fitting Conclusion, Sep 18 2003
Par David C. Hoffner (Cedar Lake, IN United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
My wife and I just finished reading the whole series of four Herriot books. I think that the first one (_All Creatures Great and Small_) is probably the best one overall. The author probably put the best stories he knew into his first book. But there are several delightful stories spread through the later books, and all four make for enjoyable reading.

This book has a couple unique features. One is that the author goes on a couple international adventures traveling as caretaker of some overseas animal shipments. These are interesting travel stories on their own. Also in this book we meet James' children and see them grow up to some degree.

_The Lord God Made Them All_ is a fittingly warm and pleasant conclusion to a really enjoyable series of books.

5.0étoiles sur 5 a beloved memoir, Janv. 27 2003
Par Crystal C. Loh (London, ON Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
James Herriot once again takes you on a magical journey through his whimsical hamlet of Yorkshire Dales, stealing your heart at every stop along the way. Anyone who picks up this book will be immediately captivated by the depth of love and respect for animals that embodies all of Herriot's books. Every character you meet, be it human or animal, will tug your heartstrings in a manner that you never expected from such a humble book whose clear honesty parallels that of the other books in an unforgettable series. You don't have to be an animal crazed lover like me to enjoy the simple joys of this book- it is definitely a cherished read, you won't regret it!

3.0étoiles sur 5 Good compilation of vignettes, Janv. 17 2002
Par Westley (Stuck in my head) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I read James Herriot's first four books when I was a child. Now in my 30's, I recently picked up his fifth book. I was struck by how these stories are ostensibly about animals, but say vastly more about their human owners and the need for companionship. Herriot's writing style is appropriately simple and unadorned, which atcually helps increase the impact of his stories. However, his writing can be a bit at times. There really is not a plot, just a selection of stories from his years as a a vet and resident of a small Yorkshire town.

Unfortunately, he jumps around in time a bit too much (from 1947 to the mid-1950s). For example, he includes journal passages from trips he has taken as a vet escorting animals for sale to other countries. These stories are fairly interesting, but don't really belong here and are interspersed between all the other stories, further leading to a lack of context. Overall, a worthwhile, but flawed book that is significantly buoyed by Herriot's obvious love of animals and their owners.
