The Lord God Made Them All (All Creatures Great and Small #7)
It is just after World War II, and James has returned from the R.A.F. to do battle with the diseases and injuries that befall the farm animals and pets of Skeldale and the surrounding moors. Four-year-old Jimmy Herriot, Humphrey Cobb and his little beagle Myrtle, Norman the book-loving veterinary assistant, and many more new faces join old favorites among the green hills of Yorkshire, as James takes an unforgettable voyage to Russia on a freighter with 383 pedigreed sheep. Touching our hearts with laughter and wisdom, lifting our spirits with compassion and goodness, James Herriot never fails to delight.
The joy of Herriot's writing is that he can bring the reader to laughter or tears, effortlessly. In the same way, whilst the focus remains on his animal patients, he has an abiding and clear-eyed affection for the humans he encounters too. Every budding writer should be made to read his prose to realise that economy and richness can go hand in hand to devestatingly good effect. Please read!
I read this when my children were young. My middle child loved his books and thus we had the collection.

Personal Response: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought that it was very well written and was very relatable. It was a very relaxed and warm novel. It was very easy to feel as though you were with the author throughout the book because of how well he was able to describe each scene from only memory. It sometimes felt like he was sitting next to the reader telling them each of these stories. I think that this was a very good book.Summary: The book starts off with the author starts off justThe joy of Herriot's writing is that he can bring the reader to laughter or tears, effortlessly.
