The bestselling author of All Creatures Great and Small returns to the green Yorkshire dale and other great and small wonders in this collection of stories.
James Herriot is the most beloved storyteller of our time. Every Living Thing is his first new book of memoirs in over a decade, and from its opening pages our every expectation is fulfilled: We return in a twinkle to the green Yorkshire dales, to old friends and family, to that miraculous world of wonders great and small. It is a book aglow with the qualities that have made Herriot's other volumes such rare treasures: warmth, humor, drama, color, humanity. His tales of life as a country vet are rendered with skill, grace, and savor; they are the work of a true literary artist. Most welcome of all, though, is the return of the vet himself; James Herriot is as cherishable a companion as can be found in any book. He possesses a vast capacity for joy, a full embrace of life; and, with him, we come to feel how lucky a life it has been. The voice, the spirit, the heart of James Herriot - these are the soul of a durable and delicious body of work, a set of five volumes that will be read and celebrated by us and by generations to come.
