Product Description

These are the stories that catapulted James Herriot to literary fame.When this book was first published, it was merely a simple volume of memoirs by an unknown Scottish veterinarian.But within a year, the book became recognizedas a masterpiece.And in the three decades that followed, Dr. Herriot became one of the most universally loved authors of our time.In this first volume of memoirs, then-newly-qualified vet James Herriot arrives in the small Yorkshire village of Darrowby and he has no idea what to expect.How will he get on with his new boss?With the local farmers?And what will the animals think?This program is filled with hilarious and touching tales of the unpredictable Sigfriend Farnon, Sigfreid's zany brother, Tristan, and Herriot's first encounters with a beautiful girl called Helen.Now as then, All Creatures Great and Small is full of humor, warmth, pathos, drama, and James Herriot's love of life.His journey across the Yorkshire dales, and his encounters with humans and dogs, cows, and kittens are lovingly told by Christopher Timothy with all the fascination, affection, and joy that suffuses Dr. Herriot's work. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Listening Book Experience Ever!!, April 13 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: All Creatures Great and Small (Audio Cassette)

James Herriot is a wonderfully gifted writer. The way he can describe a scene with the exact perfect wording and phrase is simply uncanny.

You are THERE on the Yorkshire dales living the lowly daily life of a young vet.

Add to that Christopher Timothy's truly masterful performance and this audio book should be in the hall of fame. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

A breath of fresh air. Genuinely hilarious, heart warming, uplifting.

Give yourself the best gift ever. Listen to this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars There is Only One Way to Read This Book, Jan 13 2004

By	J. E. Robinson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: All Creatures Great And Small: The Warm And Joyful Memoirs Of An Animal Doctor (Hardcover)

To fully enjoy this book, one must sit in front of the fireplace on a cold damp day, and have at your ready a nice glass of wine or a glass of hearty ale. Then one can fully enjoy the full essence of the Yorkshire vet experience. It does not hurt to have your dog there also.

Just a wonderful book by a talented writer. I have read it at least twice in front of the fire.
