All thing’s bright and beautiful
Another heart warming, funny, adventurous book on being a veterinarian during the 1930s in England. It is wonderful to step back in time and realize that people haven’t really changed at all whether rich or poor. The countryside descriptions have me feeling the breeze, smelling the green hillsides and learning about livestock and their owners. A great read.

Like a chat by the fireside with an old friend
As one very happy with a plant-based diet, I was not enamored by the treatment of animals as commodities, but that was the culture of the time and place.But I was enthralled by the ease of the story telling and the author’s ability to convey real people in real settings.I think Wendell Berry would have been very comfortable in James Herriot’s England, and both would have been comfortable in each other’s company.

Humane and good-humored
These are James Herriot's classic stories about his veterinary practice in Yorkshire in the 1930s. He presents an admirable figure, though he is not above a lot of gentle, self-deprecating humor. His devotion to his furry patients and affection for them, as well as his respect for the rough-hewn folks of Yorkshire, shine on every page. A very pleasant read.

Simply the best
I have read these books numerous times. They still hold up. James Herriot is the best memoir writer of all time.

A real treasure
Amidst the challenges of the pandemic and extended periods of lockdown, a notable silver lining emerged: the opportunity to become acquainted with "All Creatures Great & Small," the remake depicting the life of James Herriot in the Yorkshire Dales during the 1930s &1940s. Rediscovering both the original show and Herriot's timeless books proved to be a cherished gift, offering glimpses into a simpler era of days gone by.
