    About this audiobook

    **This program is read by Nicholas Ralph, star of the PBS Masterpiece series**

    "Nicholas Ralph’s readings of Herriot’s stories are as comforting an experience as the show, and even more immersive." —The Houston Chronicle

    A tie-in to the PBS Masterpiece series and Christmas special, available on streaming and home video.

    All Creatures Great and Small is first volume in the multimillion copy bestselling series. Delve into the magical, unforgettable world of James Herriot, the world's most beloved veterinarian, and his menagerie of heartwarming, funny, and tragic animal patients.

    For fifty years, generations of readers have flocked to Herriot's marvelous tales, deep love of life, and extraordinary storytelling abilities. For decades, Herriot roamed the remote, beautiful Yorkshire Dales, treating every patient that came his way from smallest to largest, and observing animals and humans alike with his keen, loving eye.

    In All Creatures Great and Small, we meet the young Herriot as he takes up his calling and discovers that the realities of veterinary practice in rural Yorkshire are very different from the sterile setting of veterinary school.

    James Herriot's memoirs have sold 80 million copies worldwide, and continue to delight and entertain listeners and readers of all ages.

    James Herriot

    James Herriot, a pseudonym for James Alfred Wight, grew up in Glasgow and qualified as a veterinary surgeon at Glasgow Veterinary College. Shortly afterwards he took up a position as an assistant in a North Yorkshire practice where he remained, with the exception of his wartime service in the RAF, until his death in 1995. He wrote many books about Yorkshire country life, including some for children, but he is best known for his memoirs, which begin with If Only They Could Talk. The books were televised in the enormously popular series All Creatures Great and Small.

      This was a re-read (well, a listen this time) for me - I first read this book back in the late 70s and loved it. It's one of those books I've always wanted to revisit, and have told my daughters more than once "You need to read this book" (or this series, actually). When I saw the opportunity to listen to a new audio version, narrated by the actor who plays Herriot in the new PBS series, I jumped at the opportunity. And lo and behold, it was just sweet, just as charming, just as funny and sometimes heartbreaking as the first time I read it. The narration is wonderful - I'm quite sure I wasn't hearing a Scottish accent in my head when I read it, but Nicholas Ralph's voice most definitely added to the experience this time around. I'll be highly recommending it - again - to my daughters.
      Many thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for providing a copy for an unbiased review.
