James Herriot's Favorite Dog Stories

De: James Herriot

Narrado por: Christopher Timothy

This enchanting program collects some of the Yorkshire vet's favorite stories about one of his favorite animals, each tale as memorable and heartwarming as the last. Christopher Timothy, the star of television's All Creatures Great and Small, and acknowledged "voice" of Dr. Herriot, lovingly narrates this new collection of the good doctor's canine encounters.

Here are tales of golden retrievers and sheepdogs, beagles and dachshunds, purebreds and crossbreeds, and just plain mutts - and, of course, Tricki Woo, Mrs. Pumphrey's memorable Pekinese. Each tale is suffused with the humor, wisdom and humanity of one of the greatest storytellers of our time: James Herriot.

my favorite author

James Herriot's depiction of his journeys with animals is nothing but heart warming and captivating. He has a way of making you laugh and cry on the same page.

lovely and entertaining. narrator is very good. I

I have also read all creatures great and small. both are excellent. lovely and entertaining

Wonderful narrator.

Same story’s taken from his earlier books. Still loved them but I would have liked new stories for my credit.

Wonderful

I loved this. If this is your first James Herriot book you are in for a real treat.I have listened many times to the four volume series of James Herriot. I was familiar with all of these stories but I really enjoyed the added tidbits. Did you know that Mrs. Pumphrey helped the first Chinese restaurant in Darrowby to succeed by eating there with Tricky Wu? James Herriot also talks about his other dogs and his last dog, Bodie, who brought him the most pleasure of all.

James Herriot’s Dog Stories

Oh, I do enjoyed these stories. The narrator was perfect. I could picture the dogs, people and scenery like I was there. I read a number of James Herriot books years ago. Can’t wait to listen to them now.

Like visiting old friends

Animal lovers will forever delight in Herriot's books - no matter what age! Herriot brings out the personalities of the animals as well as their intimate bonds with their human families.

Charming

I have a stack of very long books to read. They seem a bit overwhelming for me to start at this time of year. Therefore, I turned to some of my favorite short stories that have always helped me unwind and they leave me feeling good.

This book is a collection of stories about dogs. The dogs range from Border Collie farm dogs to spoiled Pekingese. This is a memoir so we have Herriot’s personal viewpoint of this large animal veterinary practice that has small animal care. Herriot states he enjoys the small animals the most but in his day the large farm animals were what his training emphasized and was his main income. I always enjoy Herriot’s delightful stories.

The book is three hours. Christopher Timothy does a good job narrating the book. Timothy is a Welsh actor and played Herriot in the BBC production of “All Things Great and Small”. He is an award-winning audiobook narrator

Fascinating

These are fine stories from a Vet who really loved and understood his job. The only disappointment was that "Jingo and Skipper" wasn't included in the anthology.

GREAT BOOK!

Would you consider the audio edition of James Herriot's Favorite Dog Stories to be better than the print version?

I loved the print version and really love the audio version. I use the audio books while i am on the treadmill and LOVE James Herriots books. Thank you so much.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tricky Woo

What about Christopher Timothy’s performance did you like?

He has a smooth voice and speaks very clearly...he is very easy to listen to.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Entertaining

Great collection of James Herriot's stories of just dogs. The narrator has excellent inflection and use of different accents.
