James Herriot is the pen name of James Alfred Wight, OBE, also known as Alf Wight (3 October 1916 - 23 February 1995), a British veterinary surgeon and writer. Wight is best known for his semi-autobiographical stories, often referred to collectively as All Creatures Great and Small, a title used in some editions and in film and television adaptations.
"A very warm, very engaging read. . . . The reader falls totally under his spell."
--Associated Press
The second volume in the multimillion copy bestselling series
Millions of readers have delighted in the wonderful storytelling and everyday miracles of James Herriot in the over thirty years since his delightful animal stories were first introduced to the world.
Now in a new edition for the first time in a decade, All Things Bright and Beautiful is the beloved sequel to Herriot's first collection, All Creatures Great and Small, and picks up as Herriot, now newly married, journeys among the remote hillside farms and valley towns of the Yorkshire Dales, caring for their inhabitants---both two- and four-legged. Throughout, Herriot's deep compassion, humor, and love of life shine out as we laugh, cry, and delight in his portraits of his many, varied animal patients and their equally varied owners.
"Humor, realism, sensitivity, earthiness; animals comic and tragic; and people droll, pathetic, courageous, eccentric---all of whom he views with the same gentle compassion and a lively sense of the sad, the ridiculous, and the admirable."
--Columbus Dispatch

评分一个个关于人或动物的小故事,温馨而又风趣,可以感受到作者对于生活细腻而又敏感的爱。虽然书中有些给动物做手术的情节,但却也一点都不血腥,我想这是源于作者出自内心的对自然动物的喜爱吧。很期待接着看其他万物有灵且美系列书籍。
评分这是我看这套书的最后一本,顺序并不对,但我觉得是最好的。 开头那两本惊艳世人的地方在于,那是一扇初次打开的门,使我们见到世上还有这样人格圆融、仁慈、对世界不坏恶意的人。他的笔法、行文构思并无多少进步和老练之处,事实上他不是个真正的作家,但他总...
