As I crawled into bed and put my arm around Helen it occurred to me, not for the first time, that there are few pleasures in this world to compare with snuggling up to a nice woman when you are half frozen. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Smashing!!!, 22 Aug 2005
By Clare (UK, near Greene Knowe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Things Bright and Beautiful: Let Sleeping Vets Lie and Vet in Harness (Paperback)
This book is a collection of short stories about the life and work of the vet James Herriot. These stories, which lead on from each other, are both about looking after farm animals in cold fields, and dealing with both pet animals and their owners in the surgery and in the owners homes.
All things bright and beautiful will either put you off ever wanting to be a vet or will make you want to be a vet. It glamourises being up in the middle of the night, standing in freezing cold fields and not being able to save people's pets. When this was first published there was a massive increase in the number of people applying to study at university to be vets.
It is a hugely funny book. You can not help but laugh at every small detail and you have great sympathy for Herriot in his struggles. His wit never fails, even when he recalls being squashed behind a bull.
All Creatures Great and Small is the title the book was published under in America. In England it was called Vet in Harness.
I would recomend this book to everyone even if they think that it is not their thing. I did not think I would like it and was supprised. It was very popular at one time and was made in to a TV series for a reason.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book, and very amusing, 10 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: All Things Bright and Beautiful (Hardcover)
This is a book about James Herriot, who is a vets assistant and always gets the bad patients. His boss, Siegfried Farnon is a very experienced vet, although he drives extremely recklessly and tells James Herriot off for doing things, and then tell him off for doing it again, for example, he once told him never to accept night calls because he had been called out at 3:00, and then he told him off for not accepting them! He said that he should always accept night calls, because the patients need them! He also gets bad farmers, as once he got a farmer that said the other vet was the best vet ever, but they'd just have to put up with him, and also told him how he does everything, and that he is doing it differently to him.
