All Things Bright and Beautiful: The Heart-Warming Memoirs of a Yorkshire Vet in the 1930s

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 . . .

Since they were first published, James Herriot's memoirs have sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny and touching, All Things Bright and Beautiful is a heart-warming story of determination, love and companionship from one of Britain's best-loved authors.

'I grew up reading James Herriot's books and I'm delighted that thirty years on, they are still every bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were then' – Kate Humble

'Herriot's enchanting tales of life in the Dales are deservedly classics. Full of extraordinary characters, animal and human, the books never fail to delight' – Amanda Owen, bestselling author of The Yorkshire Shepherdess

This omnibus edition comprises the majority of chapters from Let Sleeping Vets Lie and Vets in Harness.

It almost feels redundant to review a James Herriot book—what new can possibly be added? His stories are pure comfort: warm, witty, deeply human. Listening to them on Audible brings a new richness, as if you’re sitting by the fire, hearing them straight from the man himself. Christopher Timothy does him justice with every inflection and gentle chuckle. These tales of country vets and quirky characters aren’t just classics—they’re old friends. If you’ve never read Herriot, you’re in for a gift. And if you have? Well, you already know: nothing more need be said.

What more can be said?
