Synopsis

This enchanting program collects some of the Yorkshire vet's favorite stories about one of his favorite animals, each tale as memorable and heartwarming as the last. Christopher Timothy, the star of television's All Creatures Great and Small, and the acknowledged "voice" of Dr. Herriot, lovingly narrates this new collection of the good doctor's canine encounters.

Here are tales of golden retrievers and sheepdogs, beagles and dachshunds, purebreds and crossbreeds and just plain mutts -- and, of course, Tricki Woo, Mrs. Pumphrey's memorable Pekinese. Each tale is suffused with the humor, wisdom and humanity of one of the greatest storytellers of our time: James Herriot.

From AudioFile:

With all the escapades James Herriot captured in his stories of life as an English country vet, favorites are inevitable. Christopher Timothy, who played the British veterinarian on television, conveys his relish for the countryside and country folk, not to mention the animals. Timothy delivers the stories with cozy reminiscence and a soft burr. Collected from Herriot's various volumes, this title and Favorite Cat Stories are sold as two-cassette programs. Herriot's generous nature and honest concern coupled with Timothy's friendly style are a winning combination. The short length of these programs will also attract listeners. A great opportunity to introduce new listeners to audio. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
