Book Review: All Things Bright and Beautiful
Rating: 
All Things Bright and Beautiful continues the memoirs of James Herriot, newly married to Helen, as he continues his veterinary practice in Yorkshire. This book is simply more of the same witty, incisive commentary on animal ways and human nature, and how they came together in his unique professional life. Utterly enjoyable.
There is, however, one scene on p. 321, in which Herriot rather gratuitously describes a dance partner’s physical attributes, which parents may wish to omit if reading aloud, or discuss if a young person is reading alone. This small blemish does not significantly alter the value of the story.
