Critic reviews

“This is Herriot at his best. . . able to make us laugh, cry or nod in agreement with some snippet of universal truth.” —The Washington Post

“A triumph in the art of storytelling, as delightful and refreshing to the mind's eye and heart as a field of bright-eyed daisies.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram

“A master storyteller with flawless timing.” —The Houston Post

I agree with “Just One Thing” review

The narrator was excellent. The story was great as all of the series. But the musical interludes were annoying. If they had been uplifting music perhaps I would have like them somewhat, but to me they were kind of downers. Not upli, but melancholy no matter if the previous chapter had brought a success or disappointment in the vet’s experience. But

Entertaining, amusing, and informative. Great read

Loved it! Great performer! Laughed out loud! Endearing stories for animal lovers! will listen to all the James Herriot books!

Hidden treasure

This series continues to provide laughter and joy reading and listening to is 5 star also considering the actor from the show series also narrated the books so elegantly in fact I can imagine the facial expressions and mannerisms. It’s on point and I’m glad to have the whole series on audible. Highly recommend for any vet or medical professional or family of medical professionals.

Great driving read

Loved the book and narration! I’ve read the books and thought that the narrator sounded authentic.

Such a great series!

I read this series years ago. It was a joy to listen to all 4 of them this past year. I highly recommend them!

Another great novel from James Herriot!

This is a wonderful book full of wonderful stories and colorful characters. I like this book only slightly less than Herriot’s prevoius books but nevertheless, it’s a wonderful book and you can’t go wrong with it. The end of this one made me a little sad though. Siegfried is one of my favorite characters and I made the mistake of reading his Wikipedia page. Sometimes it’s better not knowing how your favorite characters end up in real life.
My other complaint has more to do with the intrusive music than it does with the book itself. They sometimes play the music over the narrator’s voice and it often doesn’t fit the mood of the story. I think the most annoying thing though is that they sometimes play the music in the middle of a story rather that at the beginning or end of a chapter and it’s confusing. I really wish they had left the music out altogether.

Great series

I love listening to these books. In this time of political rantings against Trump, it is so nice to return to a simpler and kinder time....a setting of country farms and light stories...Highly recommend this series.

Great stories

I love this entire series. I own the books, but since most of the “chapters” are only about 15 minutes long, I listen to a chapter on my phone in bed before I go to sleep, and they are very relaxing.

Wonderful!

I'm transported to the loveliness of the Yorkshire Dales in the '30's, 40's, and 50's as I listen to these fabulous audio books narrated by Christopher Timothy.

All creatures through the Lord God made them all

You must listen to all three books in order! They are delightful. The first two were read by the man who is the actor for James Harriot in the TV show of the books; Super good reading and voice. The last one has a different reader, so it takes a bit to adjust to him. Also the last one has awkward musical interludes. But that doesn’t change the well written story!! Delightful.
