A tie-in to the PBS Masterpiece series and Christmas special and 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 fifty years since his animal stories were first introduced to the world.

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 as we laugh, cry, and delight in the portraits of his many varied animal patients and their equally varied owners.

About the Author

James Herriot (1916-1995) was the bestselling author of memoirs including All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, All Things Wise and Wonderful, The Lord God Made Them All, and Every Living Thing. At age 23, Herriot qualified for veterinary practice with the Glasgow Veterinary College, and moved to the town of Thirsk in Yorkshire to work in a rural practice. He would live in, work in, and write about the region for the rest of his life. Though he dreamed for years of writing a book, his veterinary work and his family kept him busy, and he did not start writing until the age of 50. In 1979, he was awarded the title Order of the British Empire (OBE). His veterinary practice in Yorkshire, England, is now tended by his son, Jim Wight.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

"James Herriot (1916–1995) was the pen name of James Alfred “Alf” Wight, an English veterinarian whose tales of veterinary practice and country life have delighted generations. Many of Herriot’s works—including All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, All Things Wise and Wonderful, The Lord God Made Them All, and Every Living Thing—became international bestsellers and have been adapted for film and television.

Herriot’s stories rely on numerous autobiographical elements taken from his life in northern England’s Yorkshire County, and they depict a simple, rustic world deeply in touch with the cycles of nature."

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like a chat by the fireside with an old friend
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2022

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.

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.

I read All creatures great and small and afterwards I knew I had to continue the series. Written against a beautiful background of the English countryside in the early years of the 20th century, the srorues of the gentle soul of James Herriot and his clients and patients made me laugh out loud at the misadventures and the heartwarming moments in his practice, as well as the characters he meets in his chosen line of work. His love of the natural surroundings and that he realizes his incredible luck to be part of it made this book and the who!e series an immensely satisfying read for me

The late James Alfred Wight/James Herriot was a top writer of word pictures. One could say he painted with words. His ability to cause the reader to envision the animals, places, people, and things has been equaled by few writers I have read.

Reviewed in Canada on April 6, 2024

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.
