All Things Wise and Wonderful James Herriot
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1998
Definitely a classic The third book in the series and you know exactly what to expect. Yes, folks, it is every bit as entertaining as the first two, and that's probably all you need to know. But I'll go ahead and mention that he spends some time in the RAF during World War II, which we ...

All Things Bright and Beautiful James Herriot
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1998
Delightful and charming... All Things Bright and Beautiful by James Herriot is a true classic and I can see why it has been such a big seller through many decades. Sadly, I missed seeing his books when they were made into a television series. This autobiographical work is charming and ...

Wuthering Heights (Signet Classics) Emily Brontė
Signet Classics, 2004
Worthy of its place in the canon How odd that Amazon does not consolidate the comments on the various editions of this book from different publishers.
I read this book out of a certain sense of obligation -- I'd been reading other 19th century English literature and, with some trepidation, picked ...

James Herriot's Treasury for Children: Warm and Joyful Tales by the Author of All Creatures Great and Small James Herriot
St. Martin's Press, 1992
A Gorgeous Book This is a great example of a living book. The stories transport the listener to another place, and the journey is a pleasure. My 5 and 8 year old daughters love these stories and their illustrations.

The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett
Signet Classics, 2003
Mistress Mary, quite contrary... The Secret Garden - my mum gave me this book when I was about eight and in the front it says: "for Kate, who will stay up reading until the wee hours of the morning." and it is true. I've read this book many times since then and I discover something new each time. The ...

All Creatures Great and Small James Herriot
St. Martin's Griffin, 2004
Everything "Great" (and sometimes small) If you ever wanted to be a vet... "All Creatures Great and Small" will either inspire, or send you running off to be a lawyer. Heartwarming, funny, sad and highly educational, James Herriot's debut biography (he wrote five in all) give readers the whole messy, glorious ...

Sterling, 2004
Read and re-read Five generations of my family have adored The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, albeit in different editions. It was first published over 100 years ago, but when I read it as a child I was transported to that place and time and I was Mary Lennox. My great ...

Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics) Emily Brontė, Pauline Nestor
Penguin Classics, 2002
This Heathcliff Is No Pussy! (Like the curmudgeonly CAT in the COMIC...get it?)
Great old-style classic novel. One of Henry Miller's favorites; that's what attracted me to it.
I liked the style of the narrative, largely told through the reminiscences of the housekeeper Nelly. This is one ...
