Editorial Reviews

James Herriot found a gentle, wise and often humorous way to write about animals and to evoke a beautiful but fading way of life in those Yorkshire Hills...I can't say that I have ever quite matched the writing...but he has always inspired me and given me something to aim for.” —Jon Katz, NYT bestselling author of Second Chance Dog

“I recall reading All Creatures Great and Small many years ago, while working as a veterinary technician...Herriot to me remains a superhero of sorts, who...taught me how simple, heartwarming prose about people and their animals could...become art.” —Steve Duno, author of Last Dog on the Hill

From the Publisher

Narrator Christopher Timothy takes us back a half-century to the rural veterinary practice of the Dr. James Herriot. Timothy’s laughter, scolding, sadness, and all manner of storytelling come bundled in bucolic Yorkshire accents. Like a performance wizard, he speaks life into the characters, allowing listeners to enjoy a fantasy voyage into the emotional storms of the doctor and his patients. As though harvested at random from distant memories, the introspective episodes transform curious nonhuman cases into tales of suspense and comedy. Each entertaining chapter carries valuable lessons in moral values and adult behavior that would be prodigal fertilizer for the maturing mind. J.A.H. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
