Publisher's summary

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.

Wonderful collection of experiences

Why haven’t I discovered these sooner? James Herriot’s account of his years of experience as a veterinarian are so interesting, endearing, and leave me wanting more at the end of each book.

The last book in the beloved series...

Nicholas Ralph has done such a wonderful job embodying Alf Wight's beloved doppleganger, James Herriot. Of all of the books in the updated audio series, this might be my favorite. It's just wonderful and such a pleasant listen.

Nicholas Ralph is perfect for these classic books

Nicholas Ralph is the perfect narrator for this series. He is also plays a most wonderful James Harriot on the recent PBS series. I’m deeply grateful to him for bringing to life these books that made such an impression on me when I read them as a teenager, and are as wonderful as I remember! I’ve listened through the whole series with Nicholas Ralph twice, and I know I’ll return to them again and again.

Herriot always delivers

delightful stories, excellent narration. I was skeptical of a new narrator since I've always listened to Christopher Timothy, but this was excellent.

Wonderful accounts of his time as a vet

This is another wonderful piece from Herriot. It’s full of great accounting of some of his time as a vet.
