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

      Narrator Christopher Timothy takes us back a half-century to the rural veterinary practice of the Dr. James Herriot. Timothy's laughter, scolding, sadness, and all manner of storytelling come bundled in bucolic Yorkshire accents. Like a performance wizard, he speaks life into the characters, allowing listeners to enjoy a fantasy voyage into the emotional storms of the doctor and his patients. As though harvested at random from distant memories, the introspective episodes transform curious nonhuman cases into tales of suspense and comedy. Each entertaining chapter carries valuable lessons in moral values and adult behavior that would be prodigal fertilizer for the maturing mind. J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
