Book Reviews of All Things Wise and Wonderful

I pleasant read about a country vet during war time. Herriot discusses some of his war experiences going through RAF training and intersperses memories of his home and job. Generally uplifting and positive, it follows in the tradition of his earlier books.

A wonderful read if you want chapters that are like short stories. There is little connection between the chapters and no plot other than disconnect episodes in Mr. Herriot's life. I totally enjoyed the book after I realized it was a series of short stories.

This is my least favorite of the books, but that does not mean it is not a great book. It is still a good book, I just don't like the look into military life. But it is still a great read.

I love James Herriot's books!

Readers adored his tales as a Yorkshire animal doctor in All Creatures Great and Small and All Things Bright and Beautiful--now James Herriot treats us to another delightful volume of memoirs rich with his own brand of humor and wisdom.

In the midst of World War Two, James is training for the Royal Air Force, while going home to Yorkshire whenever possible to see his very pregnant wife, Helen. Musing on past adventures through the dales, visiting with old friends, and introducing scores of new and amusing characters--animal and human alike--Herriot enthralls us once again with his uncanny ability to spin a most engaging and heartfelt yarn.

The continuing love story of a Yorkshire vet and his friends and neighbors-human and animal...

Number 3 in the series. Great books!

Another wonderful book by James Herriot. Great for animal lovers. This is the sequel to All Things Bright & Beautiful.
