Not my fave, but still good

This is my least favorite of the four in the series, but as you can see from the ratings I gave it, it's still good.

Unlike most of his works, this one has portions that some parents will want to pre-screen before reading to young children because of explicit references to animal sexuality, detailed accounts of collecting specimens for artificial insemination, etc. And, additionally, parents should be aware that this was a hard-drinking culture, and Herriot didn't minimize that fact.

The story is also oddly disjointed, making frequent jumps from the 1940's to the 1960's and back again, which detracted from its quality in my opinion.

However, it's still very enjoyable because Herriot had a wonderful eye for beauty, for humor, for poignancy, for sorrow, for joy. And he knew how to set it all down masterfully on paper.

And the narration? Well, it's Christopher Timothy! What more needs to be said? He's wonderful.

Excellent conclusion to a wonderful series.

I absolutely love the series of short stories of the highland moores. I am only able to listen for short periods of time, and the short tales fit perfectly in my schedule.

Always a joy to read Herriot

Every volume of the series is excellent reading and the consistency of using the same narrator makes it all the better. He is excellent!!!

The descriptions of everything from landscape to surgical procedures. Took me to the place as if I were right there.

I loved everything from the writing to the performance. I never cared much for animals but now I wonder if I would love to have a pet!

No disappointment here!

I love James Herriot and Christopher Timothy is absolutely the best! I was leary of ordering another because the last one I ordered, All Things Bright and Beautiful was sub standard on recording, but this one was perfect. Very entertaining, a good listen for the entire family. Something for everybody! Love it.

Incredible Series

A dramatic view of the life of an English country get that has past into history. What an endearing, funny, sad legacy of rural Yorkshire farmers and the vet that rolled up his sleeves and cared for the animals they loved and provided a living for so many.
