All Things Bright and Beautiful

The Warm and Joyful Memoirs of the World's Most Beloved Animal Doctor

De: James Herriot

Narrado por: Christopher Timothy

The basis for the PBS Masterpiece series and the second volume in the multimillion copy bestselling series.

Millions of readers have delighted in the wonderful storytelling and everyday miracles of James Herriot in the fifty years since his animal stories were first introduced to the world.

All Things Bright and Beautiful is the beloved sequel to Herriot's first collection, All Creatures Great and Small, and picks up as Herriot, now newly married, journeys among the remote hillside farms and valley towns of the Yorkshire Dales, caring for their inhabitants—both two- and four-legged. Throughout, Herriot's deep compassion, humor, and love of life shine as we laugh, cry, and delight in the portraits of his many varied animal patients and their equally varied owners.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Whatever joy one found in [All Creatures Great and Small] is in [All Things Bright and Beautiful], only even more joyous; whatever laughter rippled from the throat in the reading of the first, finds even greater gusto in this one. It is funny, wry, simple in its story but as deep and perceptive of life's truths as the superlative sensitivity of the write and his talent can make it.” —Dorothy Eastland, The Hartford Courant

“Christopher Timothy conveys his relish for the countryside and country folk, not to mention animals.... Herriot's generous nature and honest concern coupled with Timothy's friendly style are a winning combination.” —AudioFile

I love this book, but....

This is a wonderful book and I love Christopher Timothy as the narrator. However, my dissatisfaction does not come from the book or its contents but the quality of the recording. I can hear background talking, at times the narrator slows down so he has a bass voice and then picks up again. I thought maybe it was my Kindle but it only does it with this book, and that is both part 1 and part 2. I was not happy at all with the quality of workmanship at all. I wanted to buy the other two books, but I am leary now.

Great story, sound needs to be remixed

i listen frequently thru my bluetooth headset and the constant hissing and faint background voices is very annoying. The audiobook publisher needs to fix this recording.

Another Good Book

Enjoyed as much as when I read the book years ago. Did not like the musical interludes between chapters.

Perfect!!!

Heartwarming, beautifully told, simply a classic. A perfect book for all ages. Especially if you’re a vet! Must read ALL James Herriot stories!

An old favorite

Love this book, and the author's writing. Warm, funny, lyrically beautiful descriptions. A true treasure.
