This was another enjoyable reading experience and was excellent on audio. This time around the author included several experiences, acting as a vet on a ship and a plane while delivering animals to other countries. I found these chapters to be interesting but I wish they had been told in a more linear fashion. ( )

Herriot could really write short stories. Really well structured, always with a point and a pay-off, great to listen to on audio on a road-trip, and hilarious in the double entendres I can only presume he didn't realise he was writing. We found this to read, it being the only secular book (unwittingly?) in a Mennonite Airbnb in southern Indiana! ( )

I’m sorry to say that I’ve come to the end of the All Creatures Great and Small series by James Herriot. I read the books as I found them in used bookstores so out of order. But this book, THE LORD GOD MADE THEM ALL, really is the final book in the series.

Each of the books in this series consists of lovely stories written in first person by a Scottish veterinarian in Yorkshire, England. The time spans from the beginning of his career in the 1930s to this last book in the 1950s and 1960s. Although the stories are fiction, Herriot based them on his own experiences. So, they are largely books about animals, but they are really a series about a country vet.

These books have been around since the 1970s, but they are just as touching now. ( )

I remember my dad giving me these books for a birthday or xmas fairly early on, and I've loved them and returned to them ever since. Just re-listened to the excellent audio book version. _- love the accents, the humor, the wonderful setting, and the compassion to animals. Great storytelling. ( )

Lovely tales of veterinarian Jim Herriot and his adventures treating animals in WW2 England. Delightful and funny stories if you enjoy historicals and are an animal lover. ( )
