The Complete James Herriot

Great read

Beautifully presented, am so pleased. Am giving as Christmas gift. Thank you

As a fan of the TV series All Creatures Great and Small I thought I'd get the books by James Herriot to see how they compared. To my delight they were better and even more entertaining. Every chapter is a story in itself and to follow his busy and highly varied career is what I can only describe as a truly heart-warming experience. The books also give a wonderful insight into what rural life was like in the 1930's and 40's and there are plenty of laughs along the way. I thoroughly recommend these books to anyone who has an interest in that era, loves animals, or simply enjoys a damn good read.

Brought for a present

Just what I wanted

Yes the print is a bit fuzzy. Yes the paper is not the best quality. Yes the case they come in is damaged. People who complain it's not the complete set are wrong as the books they think are missing were original works mixed together for the American Market.. In the United States, Wight's first six books were considered too short to publish independently, so they were combined in pairs to form three omnibus volumes. All Creatures Great and Small (1972) (incorporating If Only They Could Talk, It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet, and three chapters from Let Sleeping Vets Lie) ISBN 0-330-25049-3 All Things Bright and Beautiful (1974) (incorporating the majority of the chapters from Let Sleeping Vets Lie and Vet in Harness) ISBN 0-330-25580-0 All Things Wise and Wonderful (1977) (incorporating Vets Might Fly and Vet in a Spin) ISBN 0-7181-1685-2. At less than £2.50 per Book get reading a good set of tales and stop moaning!!!!!

Takes me back to my childhood when I first read these great books

A series of books which are of the best reading ,charming, interesting and fascinating.

Buen servicio de entrega por parte de Amazon, La calidad de la impresión del texto de los libros es de muy baja calidad comparado con los libros comprados por separado, del mismo Editor (PAN Books). Recomiendo la compra individual de los libros y no esta "Colección".

The full box set of the James Herriot books, what more can you want? Ohyes, you'll also want the authorised biography "The real James Herriot" by his son Jim.

Great books!

How great a story teller is James Herriot. I highly recommend his books, best to buy the collection as a couple of the books are combined into one book. Should be read in order as well. See year published as the books are not in order in the box. For anyone who loves animals, humorous and at times will bring tears. Throughly enjoyable reads. The PBS rendition of the stories is also wonderful. Books are always best though! I’m keeping these as I may want to read them all again in time.

Excellent series of books.
