All Creatures Great and Small / All Things Bright and Beautiful / All Things Wise and Wonderful: Three James Herriot Classics by James Herriot

4.0

Another fantastic novel by Mr. Herriot. I find it interesting how he says very clearly how he won't be dicussing the war.. and yet this whole book is framed as his memories of home DURING the war. He gives no info about what his time in the RAF except that he was there, was grounded (no clues as to why), and finally discharged. But each beginning of the story starts out with him doing something in the RAF (marching, flying, etc) and how it reminds him of a something that happened in Darrowby.

The vet stories are always so wonderfully written. I am often moved to laughter or tears. I wish I had found these books when I was younger. I am glad I am reading them now.
