About this listen
The second collection of memoirs from the author who inspired the BBC and Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small.
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.
This omnibus edition comprises the majority of chapters from Let Sleeping Vets Lie and Vets in Harness.

"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)

Enjoyable from start to finish!
I’m reading my way through the James Herriot books and I have been absolutely loving each novel as I’ve made my way through them. These books are the perfect escape from the everyday troubles of life. Christopher Timothy’s narration really makes the books complete by bringing the setting of the Yorkshire Dales and the various characters to life.

Another excellent Herriot title!
Working through the Herriot series, enjoyed this one just like the others! This narrator adds so much to the story, mimicking the different Yorkshire accents beautifully.
