About this listen

The fifth volume of memoirs from the author who inspired the BBC and Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small.

In Every Living Thing James Herriot brings back familiar and much-loved friends, including his partner Siegfried and his most lucrative patient, the delightful Tricki Woo.

There are some some new arrivals too, such as the abandoned and terrified mongrol Titch who finds the perfect home with a gruff grocer, and feral kittens Olly and Ginny who live in James and wife Helen's back garden. Above all, the veterinary practise in Darrowby is enlivened by a marvelouslly eccentric assistant, Calum Buchanan, who arrives with a pet badger and proceeds to add dogs, owls and a monkey called Mortimer to his growing menagerie.

Since they were first published, James Herriot’s memoirs have sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Full of unique characers, funny and touching, Every Living Thing 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

Fantastic series with the perfect narrator, just wish the whole series was available unabridged! Great for fans of the Dales, and every aspiring vet.

There is a kind of warmth of inclusion in this sort of autobiographical narrative that invites its readers to share. And for a short, socially unjudgemental, time enjoy something like friendship with someone you are never likely to know.

The social atmosphere of the work.
