All things bright and beautiful / James Herriot ; read by Nicholas Ralph.

All things bright and beautiful / James Herriot ; read by Nicholas Ralph.

All Things Bright and Beautiful is the 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, humour, 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. Now settled into the sleepy Yorkshire village of Darrowby, and married to Helen, the farmer's daughter, James Herriot thinks he's finally got himself sorted. But life as a vet in the 1930s was never going to be easy. Quite aside from his unpredictable colleagues, brothers Siegfried and Tristan Farnon, he must contend with new-fangled medical techniques, delivering calves after far too much home-made wine, and a grudge-holding dog called Magnus who never forgets. And then, with Britain on the verge of war, James faces a decision that could separate him from Darrowby - and Helen - for ever.
