"A very warm, very engaging read. . . . The reader falls totally under his spell." --"Associated Press " The second volume in the multimillion copy bestselling series Millions of readers have delighted in the wonderful storytelling and everyday miracles of James Herriot in the over thirty years since his delightful animal stories were first introduced to the world. Now in a new edition for the first time in a decade, "All Things Bright and Beautiful" is the beloved sequel to Herriot's first collection, "All Creatures Great and Small," and picks up as Herriot, now newly married, journeys among the remote hillside farms and valley towns of the Yorkshire Dales, caring for their inhabitants---both two- and four-legged. Throughout, Herriot's deep compassion, humor, and love of life shine out as we laugh, cry, and delight in his portraits of his many, varied animal patients and their equally varied owners. "Humor, realism, sensitivity, earthiness; animals comic and tragic; and people droll, pathetic, courageous, eccentric---all of whom he views with the same gentle compassion and a lively sense of the sad, the ridiculous, and the admirable." --"Columbus Dispatch"

評分把《All Things Bright And Beautiful》譯為“萬物有靈且美”,的確是神來之筆,這樣的書名,本身就是誘惑,何況還有和菜頭的推薦,何況還有同事藉閱給此書,所以,不看,是對不起這書和這些人的,在看完之後,我覺得,不看,是連同書中的動物們也對不起的,因為它們太可愛。 ...
評分請原諒本人閱讀麵窄,09年裏,類似的慵懶小說隻是看瞭《普羅旺斯的一年》和這本《萬物有靈且美》(囧,其他都是理論性的書,俺是理性主義者)。於是腦海裏麵不自然的總有點比較。雖然知道這樣的比較是無謂的,但也是說說自己的看法吧。純個人意見。 年頭看的《普...
