Reviews

With this collection of short stories, the listener can enjoy anecdotes about Herriot's life as a veterinarian in Yorkshire, England. Christopher Timothy characterizes Herriot--a hard-working veterinarian dedi-cated to his work--with an amiable tone. His voice shows genuine concern when telling of a particularly difficult case and elation when a treatment is successful. The program also has a lighter side, and Timothy's straight-faced tone complements the subtle humor. The unique character of the Yorkshire countryside is of great importance to the success of the program; Timothy adeptly creates the accents of the Yorkshire villagers and farmers. His award-winning talents and experience portraying James Herriot for British television make his performance thoroughly captivating. M.P.T. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
