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

This collection brings together three New York Times bestsellers by James Herriot: All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, and All Things Wise and Wonderful. The books have been popular with animal lovers for nearly fifty years and inspired a BBC series. Harriot, a Yorkshire veterinarian, draws on his professional experience to explore the connections between humans and the natural world. The anecdotes span his work across rural northern England—from nighttime visits to drafty barns in winter to the vitality of summer countryside life. He describes the various animals and their owners who came through his veterinary practice, along with the daily challenges and rewards of the profession. The collection combines witty, heartwarming, whimsical, dramatic, and touching stories that illustrate the bonds between people and animals. This edition includes a new introduction from the author's son and archival photographs.
