書籍簡介：

Now settled into the sleepy Yorkshire village of Darrowby, and married to Helen the farmer's daughter, James Herriot thinks he's finally got himself sorted. But life as a vet in the 1930s was never going to be easy. Quite aside from his unpredictable colleagues, brothers Siegfried and Tristan Farnon, he must contend with new-fangled medical techniques, delivering calves after far too much home-made wine, and a grudge-holding dog called Magnus who never forgets.

And then, with Britain on the verge of war, James faces a decision that could separate him from Darrowby - and Helen - for ever . . .

Since they were first published, James Herriot's memoirs have sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny and touching, All Things Bright and Beautiful is a heart-warming story of determination, love and companionship from one of Britain's best-loved authors. 'I grew up reading James Herriot's books and I'm delighted that thirty years on they are still every bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were then' Kate Humble'Herriot's enchanting tales of life in the Dales are deservedly classics.

Full of extraordinary characters, animal and human, the books never fail to delight' Amanda Owen, bestselling author of The Yorkshire Shepherdess

如今，詹姆斯·赫里奧特在約克郡的達羅比村安頓下來，娶了農場主的女兒海倫，他認為自己終於安定下來了。但在20世紀30年代，獸醫的生活從來都不容易。除了難以捉摸的同事齊格弗裏德(Siegfried)和特里斯坦·法農(Tristan Farnon)兄弟之外，他還必須與新奇的醫療技術作鬥爭，比如運送喝了太多自家釀造的葡萄酒的小牛，還有一隻名叫馬格努斯(Magnus)的狗，它很會記恨，永遠不會忘記。

然後，隨着英國處於戰爭的邊緣，詹姆斯面臨着一個可能使他與達洛比和海倫永遠分離的決定…

自首次出版以來，詹姆斯·赫里奧特的回憶錄已經賣出了數百萬冊，令幾代動物愛好者着迷。迷人、有趣、感人的《萬物有靈且美》是關於決心、愛和友誼的温暖人心的故事。

“我是讀着詹姆斯·赫里奧特的書長大的。30年過去了，我很高興看到這些書仍然和當年一樣迷人、感人、有趣。”——凱特·漢普

赫里奧特關於深谷生活的迷人故事是當之無愧的經典。《約克郡牧羊女》(the Yorkshire Shepherdess)一書的暢銷作者阿曼達?歐文(Amanda Owen)説，這些書中充滿了不同尋常的人物形象，既有動物也有人類，總是讓人欣喜不已。
