About this listen
The first collection of memoirs from the author who inspired the BBC and Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small. This edition contains If Only They Could Talk and It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet.
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 . . .
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.
'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
'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

Timeless, charming and funny
I am revisiting these stories after many years and once again I am entranced. His descriptions are so evocative I felt like I was there. The humour is such that I was laughing out loud. These stories are timeless, charming and funny.

After reading the books, it was a treat to find this recording to listen to. The narrator does a lovely job with accents and voice changes.

music is not needed
over all one the best version i have had in years. this was to go with my book, unfortunately some lines seem to have been edited out. Some i can understand others seem an odd choice. it dose not detract from the book. the music is a put over done.

Captivating
I so enjoyed every moment of this book. I was lost in the unfolding of each chapter and sad when I reached the end.
I’d highly recommend this to everyone 😊

Wonderful
An amazing listen. I have listened to this book countless times and would definitely recommend. The book is really engaging and is all about animals which I love. These stories have inspired me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I like the Narrator as well and have found it difficult to listen to any other audio book. Definitely a must listen/read.

Great book!
I really enjoyed listening to James Herriot's hilarious adventures in his first years as a vet in the late 30s. It was funny, cozy & warm!
