Like James Herriot, McCormack is a natural storyteller with a sense of humor that he often turns on himself. Like Herriot, he has a love of both animals and people, and he gives the listener a nostalgic picture of country life. But unlike Herriot, McCormack is an American, and his evocation of the rural South of 30 years ago will quickly become a beloved piece of literary Americana. Simultaneous hardcover release from Crown. 2 cassettes.
