Publisher's Summary

The fifth volume of memoirs from the author who inspired the BBC series All Creatures Great and Small.

During his decades spent as a country vet in Yorkshire, James Herriot has seen huge advances in medical science, technological leaps, and a world irrevocably changed by war. Yet some things have always stayed the same - gruff farmers, hypochondriac pet owners, and animals that never do quite what you expect them to. From a green young man in his first job in the 1930s to an experienced veterinary surgeon, married with two children, James has spent his entire career among the people and animals of Darrowby. And there's nowhere else he'd rather be.

Since they were first published, James Herriot's memoirs have sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny and touching, Every Living Thing is a heartwarming story of determination, love and companionship from one of Britain's best-loved authors.

Wonderful!

Just as beautifully narrated, funny and endearing as all the other books by James Herriot. There's no music in this one, but just as hard to put down as all the others!

Another Great Book by James Herriot

I love the narration by Christopher Timothy in all the James Herriot books . He really does a superb job of the accents of the Yorkshire Dales . I love going back in time when life was simpler and people were honest yet kind most of the time. I have often found myself laughing in my car as I listen to James as he makes his witty observations not only about animals but also their owners as well as his colleagues . Its so heartwarming to listen these stories .
