I have so enjoyed the entire James Herriot series. The stories are captivating, taking one back to another, bucolic period of time.
The narration by Nicholas Ralph is outstanding and added to my enjoyment immeasurably.
Thank you for this lovely experience!

Superb narration!

These wonderful stories are timeless and I could listen to them over and over, especially when they’re being read by Nicholas Ralph. He is amazing!! I often forgot that I was listening to one person playing all the parts, because his distinctive voices and accents were so convincing. His performance brought these amazing stories to life with incredible warmth. He should not only be nominated for every award in this category, but he should win!!
