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

No disappointment here!

I love James Herriot and Christopher Timothy is absolutely the best! I was leary of ordering another because the last one I ordered, All Things Bright and Beautiful was sub standard on recording, but this one was perfect. Very entertaining, a good listen for the entire family. Something for everybody! Love it.

Incredible Series

A dramatic view of the life of an English country get that has past into history. What an endearing, funny, sad legacy of rural Yorkshire farmers and the vet that rolled up his sleeves and cared for the animals they loved and provided a living for so many.

Wonderful stories

Herriot's stories of the life of a country vet never cease to charm. Excellent narrator brings the stories to life.

So nostalgic, a real comfort listen!

Great story, I love all the details. You almost feel like you’re there. Makes me want to visit the Dales and eat Yorkshire pudding. 😊

The best of feel good books !

I have read all of the James Harriet books on audible. Nothing makes me feel more inspired to enjoy my life. The writing is clean, crisp, and delightfully sentimental. It’s a man happy with his life and sharing it. It is inspirational to enjoy what you have, and make the most of it. no books like these are written these days. Separately, the music, narration, and choice of tales is just delightful. Grab his books if you want to just be delighted and feel like you read some thing that made your life just a little bit better.a great stress reliever and these times of overly meaningful books.

Not my fave, but still good

This is my least favorite of the four in the series, but as you can see from the ratings I gave it, it's still good.

Unlike most of his works, this one has portions that some parents will want to pre-screen before reading to young children because of explicit references to animal sexuality, detailed accounts of collecting specimens for artificial insemination, etc. And, additionally, parents should be aware that this was a hard-drinking culture, and Herriot didn't minimize that fact.

The story is also oddly disjointed, making frequent jumps from the 1940's to the 1960's and back again, which detracted from its quality in my opinion.

However, it's still very enjoyable because Herriot had a wonderful eye for beauty, for humor, for poignancy, for sorrow, for joy. And he knew how to set it all down masterfully on paper.

And the narration? Well, it's Christopher Timothy! What more needs to be said? He's wonderful.

Best listen ever!

What a joy this series is! I've listened to it twice now and am sure I'm not done.
Wholesome storytelling at its finest! The love and appreciation for animals and humanity is uplifting and inspiring.
Thanks to everyone involved.

Love
