All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot

funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing sad medium-paced

5.0

Undoubtably whimsical, waxing poetic, and romantically inspired by rural life, this semi-autobiographical book makes a case for a simple life where people do their best to find the joy in life without the hedonism of the modern city. This book helped me develop an appreciation for animals and imparted a bit of stoicism on me regarding dealing with forces beyond my control. It is also funny in a classic British way.
