All Creatures Great and Small Feb 21, 2010
This CD has been brilliantly recorded by Christopher Timothy who was James Herriot in the original PBS series, All Creatures Great and Small. I am trying to listen only in half hour segments in order to stretch the listening as long as possible. There are times I laugh out loud and times that I tear up. We watched the original series on television and have the video collection as well. I never, never tire of this series nor the wonderful characters and animals. This reading is absolutley brilliant as I said above and Mr. Timothy transports the listener to the dales of Yorkshire. I cannot think of enough superlatives to recommend this to lovers of All Creatures Great and Small.
All creatures great and small Feb 17, 2010
I first read this series back in the 70's and also my children (10 of them). We all agree that these books are one of the most delighful and enjoyable books we have ever read. (We are all readers, even as adults.) Am now ordering the series for some of the grandchildren starting with All Creatires Great amd Small. Also going to invest in another series for myself.
Awesomely funny Feb 08, 2010
Living in Britain during the late seventies, I became addicted to the television show of the same name. Fortunately, I found that the show was very faithful to the books. When the show finally ended, I began reading Mr. Herriots entire collection of memoirs. All Creatures Great and Small is as satisfying in print as it was on television. Mr. Herriot's description of the farmers and town folk he encountered during his tenure as a country vet confirms that the every day stories of real people can be just as interesting and entertaining as fictional characters, when told by an expert story-teller. The Cloudbase Chronicles - Life at the Top: Living and Working at Chicago's John Hancock Center - An Engineer's Tale.
Funny and informative Feb 06, 2010
Living in England during the seventies, I became addicted to the television show which was based on Herriot's books. When the show ended I found myself craving more. The books are even more satisfying.
Still a crowd pleasure, and a best seller! Jan 16, 2010
James Herriot's first memoir, All Creatures Great and Small, provides the reader with wonderful true stories about the author's experiences as a veterinarian, fresh out of college, and his involvement with animals, their owners, and his colleagues, set in the picturesque Yorkshire hills of central England.
This is a phenomenally interesting book, focusing not only on the creatures (all sizes, ages and conditions of dogs, cats, farm animals, and so on), but also the interesting characters, which owned these animals, and the amazing work that was done by vets in the days just prior to World War II in England. All Creatures Great and Small is a warm, often hilarious narrative, written in the first-person by this wonderful author. See for yourself why millions of people have purchased and loved this book as their own!
