Reviews"Every character in the book emerges with force and clarity. There is humor everywhere. All Creatures Great and Small may well be the happiest book of the year."--Nelson Bryant, New York Times Book Review "Perhaps most miraculous of all is Dr. Herriot's literary gift. With seemingly effortless art, this man tells his stories with perfect timing and optimum scale. Many more famous authors could work for a lifetime and not achieve more flawless literary control than this unknown vet has in his first book."--Alfred Ames, Chicago Tribune Book World, on All Creatures Great and Small "I hope this is but the first installment of a series about All Creatures Great and Small. I probably won't get another book read before this year [1972] is ended. I am glad that by some small miracle my last book of the year was the best."--Grady M.

SynopsisJames Herriot is probably the most beloved living writer. When All Things Bright and Beautiful was published three years ago, it became the number one best seller in the world, winning still new friends for the Yorkshire veterinarian whose first book All Creatures Great and Small had already been enjoyed by millions of readers. In this, his third book, he takes up where he left off-- both in terms of the warmth, humor, and skill with which he writes, and in the story itself. It is World War Two and James has just been inducted into the RAF. We see him at training camp and we go back to Yorkshire-- on real trips as he breaks away to see Helen who is about to have a baby, and on trips of reverie as he recalls the Dales, the animals, and the Yorkshire people who have so enriched his life. We meet old friends again-- his partner Siegfried, the zany Tristan, the bon vivant Granville Bennett-- and scores of new folk, each with a story to tell. James Herriot is back, and, as one reviewer said of his work, "If ever you have loved a friend, human or otherwise, this is the book for you."

He is a vet who tells as much about the people who have the animals as well as the animals. He goes to farms in this and the Royal Air Force
I like reading the James Harriott books because he has a special way of seeing people and animals that I call wisdom. His insights into the human spirit and life are beautiful. It gives me a warm feeling. I feel at home with his books and my day is renewed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Poorly Written; Begins To Take On The Aspects Of Someone Who Is Writing For Money.
This really missed the mark. When I was expecting something along the lines of the first two books (an informal, loosely connected set of funny stories). Instead, I was stuck with a poorly connected set of boring stories, none of which had much more interest than the last. If you want to have the whole collection, then by all means get it, but if you are just starting your collection, I recommend that you get the first two and read them. They're a ton better.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
