James Herriot (1916-1995) was the pen name of James Alfred 'Alf' Wight, an English vet whose tales of veterinary practice and country life in the Yorkshire Dales have delighted generations. Many of Herriot's works - including All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, All Things Wise and Wonderful, The Lord God Made Them All, and Every Living Thing - became international bestsellers and have been adapted for film and television.
Bulls with sunstroke, pigs on the run and a cake-eating Peke with a
betting habit . . . I grew up reading James Herriot’s book 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*
Herriot’s enchanting tales of life in the Dales are deservedly
classics. Full of extraordinary characters, animal and human, the
books never fail to delight
*Amanda Owen, bestselling author of The Yorkshire
Shepherdess*
The attraction of Herriot’s ever popular memoirs of a country vet .
. . is their alternating highs and lows, humour and pathos, and
gripping anecdotes about delivering lambs, grumpy farmers,
hypochondriac pet-owners, stroppy cows and blunt Yorkshire
characters.
