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

评分读完这本书已经一个多星期了,刚读完割舍这本心头爱推荐给男票读了。似乎在没有这本书的日子,心情马上就黯淡很多,烦恼也会在入睡前纷至沓来。 今年上海的春天很反常,它总是在最温暖最舒适的时候,给你又来个下马威,哆哆嗦嗦的把羽绒服又从真空袋里翻出来。而越来越繁...
评分虽让作者用自己的幽默感,把服役期间的种种艰难描绘的妙趣横生,但是我还是可以读出,那些日子对于吉米哈利的煎熬。在遇到艰难的时候,他总是会想起在约克郡的往事,让回忆的快乐冲淡寂寞和痛苦,让以往的倒霉事缓解现在的沮丧。幸运的事,哈利保持了那份对生活的乐观,踏上了...
