The final instalment of James Herriot's (Alfred Wight's) All Creatures Great and Small series, Every Living Thing is indeed a grand farewell for and to the author's veterinarian memoirs, not only revisiting the familiar but also introducing novel characters and scenarios.
Laughter and tears, joy and heartbreak, entertainment and thought-provoking authorial musings on life, on animals, on humanity in general, Every Living Thing is a lovely, but also somewhat saddening and sobering conclusion to the All Creatures Great and Small series, saddenining in particular because we all know that Alfred Wight died of prostate cancer in 1995 and that Every Living Thing thus truly represents the author's swan song.
Sinopsis
The fifth volume of memoirs from the author who inspired the BBC series All Creatures Great and Small During his decades spent as a country vet in Yorkshire, James Herriot has seen huge advances in medical science, technological leaps, and a world irrevocably changed by war. Yet some things have always stayed the same - gruff farmers, hypochondriac pet owners, and animals that never do quite what you expect them to. From a green young man in his first job in the 1930s, to an experienced veterinary surgeon, married with two children, James has spent his entire career among the people and animals of Darrowby. And there's nowhere else he'd rather be. Since they were first published, James Herriot's memoirs have sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny and touching, Every Living Thing is a heart-warming story of determination, love and companionship from one of Britain's best-loved authors.
