Always a Pleasure

James Herriot books read by Christopher Timothy are a soothing delight. They invoke tears and laughter, a blessed combination.

Great Stories, but duplicated from other books

Any additional comments?

I really love Christopher Timothy as reader. He really acts his reading, doing voices, sounds, and everything in just the right tones and inflections to keep the listener engaged. I loved these cat stories, they were great! However, as a warning to others, if you've already read the four longer books in his series (All Creatures, All Things B&B, and All Things W & W), then you'll find that all these cat stories are repeats from those books. I only ordered it after listening to those others because I was hoping to hear one specific cat story I remember reading as a short story when I was a kid. It wasn't in here, so the book was 100% repeat for me. Enjoyed it thoroughly and did listen to it all the way thru.

A wonderful read or listen in this case.

James Harriot is an excellent storyteller. His experiences are very interesting as a Veterinarian and as a pet owner. He has a great love and compassion shows through as he cares for all these lovely animals. If you are an animal lover and with the case of this book, a cat lover, you will thoroughly enjoy "James Harriot's Cat Stories". I have throughly enjoyed all of his books and have listened to them over and over again.

Wonderfully endearing

Heartwarming and uplifting. I enjoyed listening and found myself smiling and chuckling along with the narrator.

A delightful Book

This book is a collection of some of Herriot’s cat stories. The book is well written and is a delight to read. I enjoy Herriot’s books in the audiobook format so I can thoroughly enjoy the various accents. Anyone who enjoys animal stores will love this book. It is acceptable for all ages. I find the Herriot books most relaxing and I feel good after reading them. This book was originally published in 1994.

James Herriot (1916-1995) is the pen name of James Alfred Wight, a veterinarian. Wight wrote under a pseudonym to avoid having problems with the ethical rules of not advertising a veterinary practice. The books are autobiographical. His first book was published in 1969.

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.
