The first two books in the five-book series by James Herriot are so touching, so lovely that I hated to see them end. These books were written back in the 1970s and are about the experiences of a veterinary surgeon in Yorkshire, England, beginning in the 1930s. Although the stories in the books are fiction, they are, in fact, based on the author's own experiences. I have already read the third and fifth books in this series, but after reading the first two, I wish I had read them in order. While it’s certainly possible to read them out of order and still appreciate them, I think it would have been more satisfying to read them as they were meant to be read. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

The first two memoirs in the New York Times-bestselling series from an English veterinarian-and the basis for the Masterpiece series on PBS. All Creatures Great and Small: In the rolling dales of Yorkshire-a simple, rural region of Northern England-a young veterinarian from Sunderland joins a new practice. A stranger in an unfamiliar land, James Herriot must quickly learn the odd dialect and humorous ways of the locals, master outdated equipment, and do his best to mend, treat, and heal pets and livestock alike. All Things Bright and Beautiful: After his first day on the job, Herriot's mentor warns him that the life of a country veterinarian is full of small triumphs and big disasters, but that he'd never be bored. From night visits to drafty barns during freezing Northern England winters to the beautiful vitality of rural life in the summertime to the colorful menagerie of animals-and their owners-that pass through his office, Herriot experiences new challenges and joys every day. In these pages, Herriot trains under his eccentric boss in a rustic English village, courts the woman that becomes his wife, and meets the people he would come to write about for a lifetime. This witty and heartwarming collection, based on the author's own experiences, became an international success, winning over animal lovers everywhere. Perhaps better than any other writer, Herriot reveals the ties that bind us to the creatures in our lives. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Short stories for a stressed out short attention span.. sweetness but not sickeningly so.. And laugh-out-loud funny even in the worst pits of loneliness and loss.
Thank you, James Herriot. ( )
