James Herriot's timeless, heartwarming, and perceptive stories about animals and people have charmed millions of listeners around the world, and millions more have watched the popular PBS series All Creatures Great and Small, which is based on his four books. The Wonderful World of James Herriot excerpts the best of his stories to shape the larger tale of his life, his family, and his world, including a special introduction written by his two children, Rosie Page and Jim Wight.

With astute observations and boundless humor, Herriot captures the spirit of the Yorkshire Dales and of rural communities on the cusp of change, before tractors and machines had taken over and modern medicines and antibiotics transformed veterinary work. Herriot's unforgettable portraits of farm animals and the people he served as a country veterinarian are moving, dramatic, warm, touching, and profound. This beautiful book is the perfect gift for Herriot listeners of all ages.

If you’ve read the books…

It’s the same stories you’ve heard but with a little personal background. I was a bit disappointed to hear the same stories I’ve already heard Ralph narrate.

If you love James Herriot's books...

you will enjoy the additional insights about real-life counterparts. It's a charming book, and the narration is just fantastic.

A beautiful compilation

If you, like me, think you’ve read all the books in this series, but you worry you may have missed one, this book is for you.

It is a lovely summary of the books and the lives of the Herriot family. I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing the stories and learning new facts that tie them all together,

Each story was so very wonderful.

There was nothing to dislike. The stories painted pictures even for a city girl like me. I was amazed, amused or just thoroughly interested.

poor narration
