This audio edition is read by Nicholas Ralph, known for his role as James Herriot in the All Creatures Great and Small TV series.

** Now a major TV series on Channel 5 **

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 heart-warming story of determination, love and companionship from one of Britain’s best-loved authors.

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 semi-feral cattle, a pig called Nugent and an overweight Pekingese called Tricki Woo, James finds 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 . . .

'Nicholas Ralph’s narration is grand...A talented mimic, the star of the newer production can hold the stage alone, taking both voices in an argument. Ralph expresses adoration of domesticated animals and the wild Scots who own them. Ralph channels the Herriot magic, wrapping these tough eccentrics in a light that cheers and ennobles us all.' - AudioFile

Bulls with sunstroke, pigs on the run and a cake-eating Peke with a betting habit . . . I grew up reading James Herriot's book 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)
The attraction of Herriot's ever popular memoirs of a country vet . . . is their alternating highs and lows, humour and pathos, and gripping anecdotes about delivering lambs, grumpy farmers, hypochondriac pet-owners, stroppy cows and blunt Yorkshire characters. And, of course, there's a powerful nostalgia element in these stories about our green and pleasant land in the day before the ravages of ribbon development
Herriot's enchanting tales of life in the Dales are deservedly classics. Full of extraordinary characters, animal and human, the books never fail to delight (Amanda Owen, bestselling author of The Yorkshire Shepherdess)
On original release in the 1970s, James Herriot's insights into the life of a working vet were so popular and enchanting to readers that the area of the Yorkshire Dales in which he practised became known as 'James Herriot country'

This is a very enjoyable collection of tales from James Herriot about his life as a vet in the Yorkshire Dales. With a rich cast of characters & some beautiful imagery, it paints a picture of harder times which still seem more attractive than our current reality.

Very entertaining

I read these stories around 40 years ago and decided to try them again having watched the delightful TV series. I found the books to be every bit as wonderful second time around, and the narration to be absolutely flawless.

Absolutely enchanting!

I had read much of what James Herriot wrote many years ago, so I was pleased to listen to them again.

What a pleasure and delight from start to finish

Great Stories and Beautifully Read

Excellent narration by Nicholas Ralph of this wonderfully nostalgic book. Lovely to hear a lovely authentic Scottish voice/actor as was Herriot's heritage.

I have always loved All creatures great and small, but gutted the theme tune was changed, but still the same marvellous stories told in an easy listening manner.

What can I say, tears of laughter, joy and a few of sadness, we have all lost a pet, who's memory will make the eyes well up.

Still as good as the first time I read the books, I'm just a lazy reader now, and let someone read them to me!!!

My childhood favourite read out loud.
