The series is as warm and comforting as the beautiful knitwear worn by the protagonists (my hat is off to the knitters - the patterns, colors and execution are top notch). Although in the series war is at the door, people die, animals suffer - everything is presented in a nice old-fashioned way. People take care of each other and help each other out. They what the right way to behave is and behave accordingly. They have respect for each other and have unshakeable principles. It's a pleasant, never-existing world. People were never so polite to one another and were never so tidily turned out, especially coming straight out of a pigpen. But it's nice to immerse yourself in this fairytale world and snuggle into it. IN A NUTSHELL: Good old dreamed-up rural England. (16.05.2023)

"Animals welcome, People tolerated" - that is indeed a very apt inscription on the door of the veterinary surgery run by the three central characters Siegfried Farnon, his younger brother Tristan and James Herriot, who beautifully describes their veterinary practice in his books. The All Creatures Great and Small series reminds me in many ways of Downton Abbey, albeit with a completely different theme and no negative characters. The idyllic landscape of the English countryside in which the story takes place completely enchanted me. All in all, this is a gentle caress for the soul in these hectic and over-technicized times.
