Wonderful reading
They are probably up there with the best books ever written. Alf wight, the very famous vet, wrote these a long way back now but they are as good to read again as they were originally.
The new TV series of All Creatures Great and Small I hope will get lots more people reading these marvellous books.
Set in the forties and fifties they are utterly charming, highly amusing, sad at times but wonderful compelling reading.
Theres not many books that make you laugh out loud but these certainly do.
I hope younger people will read them especially after watching the new TV series. Read full review

Good old fashioned sentimentality and laughs
The is the second time I’ve bought the full set, I’ve read each one about 10 times, had a clear out a few years back and got rid of hundreds of books, I’ve realised this was big mistake, the James Herriot should have been a keeper, now I’m going to read them all again, beautiful, well told stories of a bygone era, love themRead full review

Extremely Enjoyable
I'm not really much of a reader, there never seem to be a lot of spare time on my hands... but in the odd moments that I can spare, I am really enjoying this box set.
We have the old dvds and it's lovely to notice how closely they stuck to the original books. However the books are better for me, because if I have to put them down to do other jobs, they are still waiting for me for me to pick up again, whereas I found I kept on missing out on lots of episodes of the dvds.
Really lovely. Read full review

Heart warming
Bought this set to replace tattered copies bought many years ago and reread several times.
Herriot us skilled author,beginning most chapters with scene setting description,before launching into a comic and detailed account of his daily veterinary experiences in Yorkshire
The set takes us from his first days there through his career.
So enjoyable.

A must-read set.
Cannot put these books down. They show all the ranges of human nature and animal nature too. One minute I'm laughing and the next crying. Stories are both hilarious and and some are very touching.
