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.

I have loved the James Herriot collection for years and am now ecstatic to have it on my iPod. All his stories elicit a 'feel good' feeling for the listener with his brilliant writing and subject matter. Add Christopher Timothy's ability to make it all come to life in audio and you've got a winning combination over all.

The author is able to create a positive spin on everything.

What three words best describe Christopher Timothy’s voice?

British expressive melodious

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a few times. One reason I enjoy this author is that the stories are pretty easy to listen to, without huge drama or unbearably emotional stories.

Any additional comments?

The only thing that would make it better is to remove the static background noise in the first nine parts. Ten through thirteen have a clear recording.

Great story and reader but too much static noise

I loved this and all of James Harriot's books. They are well written and performed. His books I will listen to again and again, enjoying it as much as the first time. If you enjoy animals or work in the Veterinarian field you will love it but that's not a prerequisite. This book is the continuation of his Veterinary practice memoirs .

Excellent book to listen to...
