Publisher's Summary
The inspiration for the BBC series of the same name.
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 semiferal cattle, a pig called Nugent and an overweight Pekingese called Tricki Woo, James find 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 heartwarming story of determination, love and companionship from one of Britain's best-loved authors.

Fascinating and still relevant today
The memoirs of a country vet were immortalised by James Herriot in these books, and read by the actor that played him in the TV series 30 plus years ago. The charm of this book remains undiminished, and shows how little time has changed things - farmers continue to be farmers, animals know nothing of the passage of time and the perils of dealing with both still rings true. Hilarious and touching in equal part, this is a true British classic.

Glad to find a book from my childhood!
I grew up with the abridged versions of these books, and it's great to have the full versions. You can feel James White's love of animals in these books!

Spectacular
I have listen to this book over and over again, and I continue to get a minstrel boy from listening to it. Performance was amazing. All the voices were done so well, and the stories are so heartwarming.

If You read James Herriot you'll love this
I have read every James Herriot book. I have loved them since I was very Young. I remember my Dad reading them at night in the winter and hearing him chuckle as he read them. When I heard over the radio one morning that the author had passed away I actually cried. RIP and thank you so much for your legacy of love and laughter and such sweet memories.
Growing up on a farm as I listen to this audible book it is so vivid and enjoyable.
I highly recommend it AND I was pleased that the narrator's voice was exactly as I imagined my beloved author's character would sound. You won't be disappointed worth every penny ENJOY
