All Things Bright and Beautiful
by James Herriot
If you loved All Creatures Great and Small, you’ll be just as enchanted with this,
the second of five books in Herriot's essential
canon. Remember that brand of snack food

are largely
self-contained short stories
of 10 pages

Several chapters from these five books were
recast into illustrated children’s books
under Herriot’s supervision. Likewise, his
Dog Stories and Cat Stories are selections
of appropriate chapters, as is the handsomely
illustrated Best of James Herriot. |
