What the critics say
“Christopher Timothy played James Herriot in the beloved BBC series "All Creatures Great and Small." Here Timothy reprises his role as the young country vet in this third collection of Herriot stories....Sit back with a cup of tea as Timothy tells you funny, gentle and occasionally sad tales about characters such as local farmers with broad accents; the posh Mrs. Pomphrey, whose overfed Poermanian passes gas; and the Ministry of Agriculture officials, who rake James over the coals for inept form-filling. Timothy develops countless individual voices with different class accents, and all are perfect.” —AudioFile
“... humor, realism, sensitivity, earthiness... gentle compassion and a lively sense of the sad, the ridiculous, and the admirable.” —Columbus Dispatch

Another gorgeous book from James Herriot
I enjoyed this book just as much as his first two books, and the historical context of the war made it most interesting

Christopher Timothy's narration makes it even better. Well worth listening to, a great book read by the actor who played him.

Beautiful, heart-warming stories!!
Will listen to this book several times. Christopher Timothy is excellent narrating this book!!! He has a good voice, very fitting to Mr Herriot, and he can do all the accents, along with the bluster of those who use it. Great job! Nicholas Ralph is good, too. James Herriot was very fortunate to get 2 such adept narrators for his books. Wonderful purchase! I have bought 4 of the series and will be adding the last one, #5, shortly. Nice to hear with the TV shows (1970's and 2000's) in mind, but you can do without.

Funny as usual, fun for all ages and endearing as all the other first 3 volumes of the series for animal lovers. Couldn't put it down!! I love that the narrator is the same in all of them. Christopher Timothy does a wonderful job of these books! I love them all!!

Such a wonderful listen
I had read the books when I was much younger, but Christopher Timothy’s narration added such a joyous element to the story. His accents and voices made the listening experience so wonderful and I would recommend this book time and time again to anyone looking for a smile.
