Publisher's summary

The fourth volume of memoirs from the author who inspired the BBC and Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small.

This audio edition is read by Nicholas Ralph, known for his role as James Herriot in the All Creatures Great and Small TV series.

Finally home from London after his wartime service in the RAF, James Herriot is settling back into life as a country vet. While the world has changed after the war, the blunt Yorkshire clients and menagerie of beasts with weird and wonderful ailments remain the same. But between his young son, Jimmy, trailing him around copying his every move, stubborn farmers refusing to try his ‘new-fangled’ treatments and a goat that has eaten 293 tomatoes, Darrowby is far from quiet. And with another baby on the way, life is about to get even more chaotic . . .

Since they were first published, James Herriot’s memoirs have sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny and touching, The Lord God Made Them All is a heart-warming story of determination, love and companionship from one of Britain’s best-loved authors.

Critic reviews

'I grew up reading James Herriot's books and I'm delighted that thirty years on, they are still every bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were then.' - Kate Humble

Wonderful, As Always

If this is your first "Creatures" book, I'd suggest that you begin with Herriot's first, narrated by the superb Nicholas Ralph; this will provide you with a perspective on his earliest years as a young vet. This later offering, however, certainly stands on its own.

As in previous volumes, we tag along as Herriot visits the farms and kitchens of his scattered country practice, sharing with us his engaging encounters with numerous sick or injured animals and their endlessly entertaining owners. With medical care of both humans and animals poised on the cusp of the age of antibiotics, we celebrate Herriot's successes and share his sorrow at the loss of animals born too soon to benefit from the miracle of modern pharmaceuticals. You will love it all.
