Product Description
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.

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.

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 to hear the voice of the actor who played JH so well in the television series, also read his books so passionately: wonderful atmosphere.

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.

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.
