4.5 ⭐, rounded up.

I started with All Things Great and Small in December, and I found All Things Bright and Beautiful to be equally charming. I love a good English countryside setting.  Flipping the pages, I always find myself wishing I could accompany James Herriot on his veterinary visits through the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales.  It's almost as if each chapter is its own short story of his veterinary experiences, though they all tie in together. These recollections made me laugh, tear up, and charmed the socks off me in turn.  I suspect this is a series I will find myself reaching to for years to come when I need to lose myself in a feel-good story.
