Timeless Classic. Superb afternoon stories.
A beautiful way to introduce children to a love of nature, animals & simpler times. The narration is brilliant. The stories are delightful & captivating. You feel as though you've just been through a walk in the English countryside after you're through. It is a breath of fresh air for the modern reader that is full of tek and toil. Forget the screens. Listen during lunch hour! Let the kids (or you!) colour or build or paint while soaking it in. Highly recommend.
Even as an adult I find these stories enjoyable and refreshing for the soul. It allows you to remember much of the beauty that was found in bygone days where vets carried black bags and went to see animals on farms in a small town. These stories capture the serenity of nature and give inspiration and hope. Jim Dale is fantastic; an overall win.

A family favourite
These stories are so beautiful. One or two of them touch on death of an animal, but always in a gentle way with a happy twist. They have been bedtime listening in our house due to the relaxing nature of them (including the soporific music) and the children all have their own favourite story. My only criticism would be the one that goes for everything on Audible - the lack of chapter headings so you cannot easily find the story you're looking for. Here they are in case it's of help:
1.Moses the kitten.
2.Only one woof.
3.The Christmas day kitten.
4.Bonny's big day.
5.Blossom comes home.
6.The market square dog.
7.Oscar, cat-about-town.
8.Smudge, the little lost lamb.
