About this listen
The first collection of memoirs from the author who inspired the BBC and Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small. This edition contains If Only They Could Talk and It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet.
Fresh out of Glasgow Veterinary College, to the young James Herriot 1930s Yorkshire seems to offer an idyllic pocket of rural life in a rapidly changing world. But from his erratic new colleagues, brothers Siegfried and Tristan Farnon, to incomprehensible farmers, herds of semi-feral cattle, a pig called Nugent and an overweight Pekingese called Tricki Woo, James finds he is on a learning curve as steep as the hills around him. And when he meets Helen, the beautiful daughter of a local farmer, all the training and experience in the world can’t help him . . .
Since they were first published, James Herriot’s memoirs have sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny and touching, All Creatures Great and Small is a heart-warming story of determination, love and companionship from one of Britain’s best-loved authors.
'I grew up reading James Herriot's books and I'm delighted that thirty years on, they are still every bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were then' – Kate Humble
'Herriot's enchanting tales of life in the Dales are deservedly classics. Full of extraordinary characters, animal and human, the books never fail to delight' – Amanda Owen, bestselling author of The Yorkshire Shepherdess

Awesome
This is one of the most enchanting and heartwarming series anyone could hope to listen to. That it is narrated by Christopher Timothy Was a very welcome surprise. Christopher made the character of James Herriot famous in the BBC series, and to hear his familiar voice in this audible recording was wonderful. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Just gorgeous
An old favourite, narrated beautifully with warmth, humour, and all Christopher Timothy's skill as an actor. A great one for listening to in snippets when short on time to delve into something heavier.

Perfect
Brilliantly written, brilliantly narrated, this is exactly what Herriot is known for. A beautiful wide-eyed appreciation of the world, leavened with a wry humour. And absolutely brilliant narration.

Yorkshire magic
I have always loved The TV Series and the book definitely did not disappoint hearing the antics of James Herriot told by the man who played him was brilliant.
Christopher Timothy’s ability to do all the characters and accents really brings the book to life.
Loved every minute

So Good
Lovely, wholesome, heart-warming stories of the Yorkshire Dale's nearly a century ago. The perfect antidote to the anxieties of modern life. That it's narrated by Christopher Timothy, who played James Herriott in the original BBC series, just adds to the perfection.
