Customer Reviews

As rich as life itself
The original stories, as well as this excellent adaptation, have the rich complexity of life itself. In its world live people of every description: the humble, the meek, the noble, the preposterous, the grumpy, the proud and the vile. All Creatures Great and Small draws a picture of the human race that gives us reason to hope: Perhaps, even with all our faults and failures, we really do have the decency, kindness, good humor and courage needed to survive.

Viewing the entire series of All Creature Great and Small
We are in the process of viewing the complete series of All Creatures Great and Small and love every minute of every DVD, I urge families to buy this, its great to sit around with the family and watch this story unfold. After we are done with the collection we will be sharing this with my daughter and her family. For those that are not familiar with the DVD its about a Vet set in the late 30's early 40's,goes from there, as he struggles to become a Veterinarian in a small town in England. He is the author of the book James Herriot

Great SET but don't make the same mistake I did!
We received the All Creatures Great & Small-The Complete Collection and am so thrilled the quality-- (and, of course, the stories)! Speed of delivery great as always as well...just love Amazon!

But, because, just under the image of the dvd set under "Better Together" section it said "buy this dvd with All Creatures Great & Small-the Specials" we made the mistake of assuming the specials were NOT included in the set. We know with the Little House on the Prairie dvd's we had to purchase specials seprately.

The complete collection with this All Creatures set means just that! So when the specials we ordered as "better together" arrive we will need to return it. I did read about the set but never read about the specials being part of the set. The "better together" section threw me off, I guess.

We highly recommend this series for anyone. It is a great series to view again & again! We would give it 10 stars, if we could! Enjoy
