READ THIS BOOK! Even people who don't normally read fiction will enjoy this. Almost every chapter could be read by itself and the book certainly doesn't have to be read after Herriot's other four compilations. Ostensibly about animals, but with wonderful take on their owners and people in general, I found myself appreciating my fellow humans a little more than I did before I read Every Living Thing. The book is heartwarming, funny, sad, triumphant, and all-together wonderful. You must read it!

Even though many of the incidents related in this book repeats other books or the beloved BTV series, it was like revisiting old friends.

Wonderful was the rest of his books!
For anyone who loves animals.
For those who prefer their veterinarian tales much less hectic than "Emergency Vets". Includes badger.
More of English country veterinarian James Herriot's adventures. The people are as interesting as the animals.
Number 5 in the "All things" series, wonderful books.
Wonderful, timeless tales for animal lovers!
I find stories of the "old" live of a county vet interesting; maybe you don't.
