Inhaltsangabe

From the author of All Creatures Great and Small -- an enchanting volume of memoirs. You'll meet his associate, John Crooks; his partner, Siegfried; more of the farmers and village-dwellers who form his diverse (and sometimes rather eccentric) clientele; and more of his patients -- the farm and domestic animals on which Dr. Herriot lavishes his affection, care and love.

Rezensionen

With this collection of short stories, the listener can enjoy anecdotes about Herriot's life as a veterinarian in Yorkshire, England. Christopher Timothy characterizes Herriot--a hard-working veterinarian dedi-cated to his work--with an amiable tone. His voice shows genuine concern when telling of a particularly difficult case and elation when a treatment is successful. The program also has a lighter side, and Timothy's straight-faced tone complements the subtle humor. The unique character of the Yorkshire countryside is of great importance to the success of the program; Timothy adeptly creates the accents of the Yorkshire villagers and farmers. His award-winning talents and experience portraying James Herriot for British television make his performance thoroughly captivating. M.P.T. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
