Celebrate the spring weather with
All Things Wise and Wonderful by James Herriot. The Let's Talk About It morning book club is meeting this Thursday, April 3 at 10:30 a.m. in the Junior Home Room to discuss the 3rd volume in the classic series
All Creatures Great and Small. If you don't know James Herriot and you're an animal lover, you should. Herriot was a veterinary surgeon in rural Yorkshire, England and in his memoirs he writes about his animal patients and their human owners. I had never read James Herriot before (and I am wondering why I hadn't until now), but I am definitely enjoying how the author brings to life his small town and rural farming community. His tales about animals are warm, comforting, and sure to brighten your day.
To get your brain going before the book club meeting, take a look at these discussion questions:
- Explain why Herriot's writings are so popular.
- Describe a relationship between an animal and a person that you know
personally. Do you feel as Herriot feels about it? Why or why not?
Pick up your copy at the information desk today. We can't wait to see you on Thursday morning! Expect light refreshments and a fun discussion of a beloved author.
