Resumen del Editor

Find All Things Bright and Beautiful: The Warm and Joyful Memoirs of the World's Most Beloved Animal Doctor, read by Nicholas Ralph, star of the new PBS Masterpiece series, on Audible.

James Herriot has now become firmly established and accepted as one of Darrowby's veterinarians. He's also married, and lives with his wife Helen on the top floor of Skeldale House. His former boss, now partner, Siegfried, lives downstairs with Siegfried's brother Tristan.

Herriot continues the rich and rewarding day-to-day life of a small-town veterinarian, and we journey with him across the dales, meeting a whole new cast of unforgettable characters - humans, dogs, horses, lambs, parakeets - all of them drawn with the same infinite fascination, affection and insight that made James Herriot one of the most beloved authors of our time. And all the stories are warmly, evocatively told by the world-renowned "voice" of Dr. Herriot: Christopher Timothy.

WONDERFUL

As always the books by James Herriot are such a pleasure to listen to, this one was no exception. The narrator Christopher Timothy is just the right narrator. Thank you all for making this book available, JK

love these true stories

Previously read (& loved), some previously watched on the BBC series (& loved); handed down from my grandparents, the audio books are touching.

Other reviews note disruptive background noise. Through most of this version it seems to have been minimized. The audio quality is not the same as typical audible books, but, if offered at a low price, I will certainly purchase them all eventually anyway.

The "chapters" marked in this version are completely incongruent with the actually book chapters. But the authentic narration and the peaceful beauty of the writing and stories themselves transcend this. The narrator is amazing. It is only the quality of the recording and the impossiblity of selecting chapters that leads to a less than 5 star review and an unwilling to spend a full credit on others in the series.

I will certainly re-listen many times.

engaging, yet relaxing

James Harriot knows how to tell a story! He takes the everyday life of Yorkshire in the 1930-40s and tells it in a way that is quite engaging. Excellent narration.

A little taste of the old Yorkshire.

Lovely rendition of the Yorkshire accents and heartfelt. reading. Funny at times but sad at other times.

Classic stories by gifted writer

I knew his work before listening to this but never realized how well written the stories were. Wonderful fun and so very real a picture of a country vet.

quiet and some interference noise.

this particular recording is a little quiet and some background noise and sometimes some ghostly voices but overall it's fine.

Great story and narrator

I love the James Herriot books because they’re funny, surprising, and the narrator does a great job. All Things Bright and Beautiful isn’t my favorite book in the series because, ironically, I feel like the stories aren’t as “bright” and uplifting as in other books, and I enjoy the ones with happy endings. Still a great book, though!

Makes me feel better about life

These memoirs will be timeless and something fantastic to listen to when you want to chuckle and be touched at the same time. He had a gift.

A wonderful book for our particular age

It is not just about animals but it is wonderful about this county vet is in love with the whole around him.
