Interpretation Supposing Books The Complete James Herriot (All Creatures Great and Small #1-8)
The ultimate comfort books. I read these several times growing up and they still make me laugh and cry as if I've never read them before.I often ring my mum to talk through them again with something like "I'm just at the bit with Tristan and the pipe!" (I think between us we could recite the whole series!) and I had a text the other day from an initially very sceptical friend, who has bought the whole series and read them again since I recommended them a year ago, saying "Just crying with laughter on the tube at the Cat Wrapping bit!"
So well written, real, and emotive. I can't recommended Herriot highly enough!

These books make me so happy. I LOVE them. Addendum: The goodreads description (which makes them sound boring) said "for everyone who finds joy in animals and magic in the countryside." I think it should say they are for everyone because I am no animal lover and am not a great naturist either. So don't let that scare you off. They are slower paced so when I got used to that they quickly rose to my top 5 books of all time.What more can I say? Superb storyline. Kept me laughing through the nights. I've re read the set few times and I still can't have enough! I feel so close to him and his family!
Sweet, hilarious and all round wholesomely excellent.
Some of my absolute favorite books. They make me laugh out loud and remind me how good God is!
Just simply fantastic stuff ... these wonderful stories have been friends all my life! But to try and actually read the books on this site is like wading through a nightmare!
I absolutely love these books. Ever since I first watched the repeats of the BBC's All Creatures Great and Small on TV I was captured and it was after that, that they were given to me as a Christmas present. I must have read them so many times over the years and they never fail to cheer me up on a gloomy day. I love them on a historical level too because whilst they are a work of fiction, they are also autobiographical and it is interesting to see how Alfred J Wright (the real James Herriot)
By far, some of the best animal stories ever written. I never get tired of re-reading this series every few years.
