Product Details

Product Description

From AudioFile

We meet an unforgettable cast of characters, animal and human, in the second volume of Herriot's memoirs. Herriot is now Siegfried's partner in the country veterinary practice, and we go with him on his rounds, cheering his successes, mourning his losses, and smiling at the humor he finds so often. Christopher Timothy, who played James Herriot in the BBC version of "All Creatures Great and Small," recreates a variety of rich Yorkshire accents impeccably and brings these stories of small town and country life before WWII vividly alive. Each character has a distinct voice and personality, and you end the book wanting to hear more about each one. Masterfully narrated, this is a joy to listen to.

As I crawled into bed and put my arm around Helen it occurred to me, not for the first time, that there are few pleasures in this world to compare with snuggling up to a nice woman when you are half frozen. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Book assignment on a great book!, Oct 30 2001
This is a really great book and the only biography I've really ever liked. It's about a guy (James Herriot) who is a country vet. This has stories about his work at a pet show, him when he's trying to court his future wife, and it has a lot about the personalities of the animals he treated. It also has a lot of his blunders, like when he got drunk (accidentally, I think) and went out to a farm. The people there were really religious, and he found out the next day the despised drinking! He didn't go out there again. All in all, it was a really good book, and I recommend it for any animal lovers or future vets out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars a charming series, Jun 13 2001
By Ray Badger Jr. (Carson City, NV USA) - See all my reviews
I read these books when I was younger and last summer I went to Yorkshire, England. I was surprised to find that the locals actually spoke they way they did in the book. I never met anyone quite as amusing as the characters in this book, though. I re-read this book and found myself laughing out loud almost every chapter. This book is well-written and very amusing. I recommend this book to people of all ages.
