At last, James Herriot’s beloved classics are available in Kindle format, and his three most popular titles have been bundled into a single Kindle ‘box set’ that’s currently on sale for just $14.99!
All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, All Things Wise and Wonderful Kindle Box Set (5/5 stars, currently priced at $14.99 for all three books in this bundle) – From Amazon:
Timeless stories from a country veterinarian about the animals and people that shape life in a sleepy English town
Perhaps better than any other writer, James Herriot reveals the ties that bind us to the natural world. Collected here are three of his masterpieces—All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, and All Things Wise and Wonderful—which have been winning over animal lovers everywhere for almost fifty years. From his night visits to drafty barns during freezing northern England winters, to the beautiful vitality of rural life in the summertime, to the colorful menagerie of animals—and their owners—that pass through his office, Herriot vividly evokes the daily challenges and joys that come with being a veterinarian.
Witty and heartwarming, these classic books also feature an original introduction from the author’s son, Jim Wight, and bonus archival photos courtesy of the Herriot estate.
One Amazon reviewer says:
James Herriot’s stories of life as a Yorkshire vet need no introduction — they must be among the most beloved books of all time. Now at long last they’re available in e-book form. I got mine this afternoon and I’m happy to say that they are fully formatted with chapter stops and the text is clean and proofread. There’s also a nice introductory essay by the author’s son, and a bio at the end. The table of contents includes links to the introduction, the front cover of each of the three books, and the bio; to get to chapters within an individual book, you have to select that book from the table of contents, then click forward a few pages to get to that book’s own table of contents, which is a little less convenient than being able to reach all the chapter stops from the main table of contents.
Getting the first three books bundled together at a reasonable price is a perfect early holiday gift to us all!
