James Herriot illuminated the rich and rewarding day-to-day life of a small-town veterinarian, taking hundreds of thousands of listeners on a journey with him across the dales. He introduces a cast of truly unforgettable characters: humans, dogs, horses, lambs―even parakeets―all of them revealed with the same infinite fascination, affection and insight that made James Herriot one of the most beloved authors of our time. The stories are made all the more special by the world-renowned "voice" of Dr. Herriot― Christopher Timothy, whose performance warmly and evocatively brings the stories to life. Now his first three classic works, digitally remastered on CD, are brought together in a beautiful gift set sharing with even more listeners the joy of James Herriot.

Years ago, after reading the books, I never missed an episode of the NPR sponsered TV program on Channel 6 in Sacramento, CA. In the early '90's, my son (USAF) and family were sent to England and my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to visit there and actually toured the Yorkshire dales and countryside. We were able to visit the real home of this wonderful veterinarian and the one used in the making of the television series.Listening to the audio version of the books has brought back vivid memories so real it sometimes brings tears of happiness to my eyes.This is one of my all time favorites and Christopher Timothy is ABSOLUTELY one of the best readers of all times. I have not yet started watching the DVD's but I know I will feel the same. Truly I cannot say enough good things about this collection.
Got the entire collection for my husband to listen to on his commute to work. I'm almost sorry because I keep hearing the stories when he gets home every evening, but he's really enjoying them.
Great, classic books, and Christopher Timothy's performance is excellent. I am only giving it a low rating because it is very unclear from the product description which books in his series you are actually receiving. To me, "The James Herriot Collection" implies the set of four of his most famous books. This set includes only the following three:1) All Things Bright and Beautiful2) All Creatures Great and Small3) All Things Wise and WonderfulIt does NOT include "The Lord God Made Them All."
Great to hear the voice of the actor who played JH so well in the television series, also read his books so passionately: wonderful atmosphere.
This is a very well-done production. Having read all the books and watched the TV series, hearing them read by Christopher Timothy brings back all the vivid imagery. These are great for the family to enjoy on a road trip.
JAMES HERRIOT IS ONE OF THE GREAT STORYTELLERS OF OUR TIME. HE HAS SHOWN US THE BEAUTY OF SIMPLICITY AND THE COURAGE OF THE AVERAGE PERSON. THIS COLLECTION, READ BY CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY, THE TV JAMES HERRIOT, IS RICH WITH THE FEEL AND WARMTH OF YORKSHIRE AND IT'S PEOPLE. A WONDERFUL TIME TO BE HAD BY ALL.
This CD collection is wonderful! It's easy to get submerged into the storyline of each tale. We've been listening to a couple of chapters during dinner each night & will be sad when we've finished them all! The stories are appropriate & interesting for animal lovers of all ages.
The books made me laugh and cry and in general make me want to see where he is talking about.What a wonderful writer.I only wish he had written even more!
