A perfect gift for anyone who loves animals, this fifth and final installment in James Herriot's heartwarming collection, the basis for the All Creatures Great and Small television series.

Every Living Thing: The Warm and Joyful Memoirs of the World's Most Beloved Animal Doctor brings back familiar friends (including old favorites such as Tricki Woo) and introduces new ones, including Herriot's children Rosie and Jimmy and the marvelously eccentric vet Calum Buchanan.
This book marks a perfect opportunity for existing fans of Herriot's work to reacquaint themselves with his writing, and for those who've never read him to see what generations of animal lovers have already discovered: James Herriot is that rarest of creatures, a genuine master storyteller.

      In a reprise of his BBC Television role as Yorkshire veterinarian James Herriot, Christopher Timothy does a splendid job bringing the flavor of the windswept dales to audio. His clear, unhurried reading and his wonderful vocal characterizations draw the listener into this complex farming community with its wise and eccentric inhabitants. The episodic nature of the book makes it perfect for family listening on trips or at home; the combined antics of animals and people create an entertaining mix for all. S.G.

      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 dedicated 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
