If it hadn't been for a sale on Audible, I probably would never have discovered James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small. What a heartwarming and comforting read/listen it turned out to be! The gentle, humorous, and heartfelt storytelling had a calming, almost meditative effect on me.

A timeless classic, typical English book that captures the heart and soul of veterinary life in the English countryside. This book is a collection of Herriot's experiences as a young vet in the 1930s in Yorkshire, told with warmth, humor, and a deep love.

What makes this book so warm is Herriot's ability to show the deep bond between humans and animals. Whether it's a cow with a difficult birth, a dog with a mysterious illness, or a cat with a mind of its own, Herriot's compassion and dedication to his work shines through. His stories are often humorous and always touching.
It's more than just a collection of veterinary tales; it's a celebration of life in all its forms

Art has always been a raft onto which we climb to save our sanity.
