A review by poachedeggs
All Things Bright and Beautiful by James Herriot

4.0

I absolutely love Herriot's awed descriptions of country life, idealistic and tinged with nostalgia as they may seem. His descriptions of cows calving and sows on the warpath are strangely hypnotic, and I always wait with bated breath the outcome of each veterinary manoeuvre - even though I know most of them turn out well.

I do find this collection slightly more disorganised than the first book, though, and there is less mention of Siegfried and Tristan, both of whom I love!
