The perfect gift for fans of All Creatures Great and Small, this is a charming collection of classic stories from James Herriot' s much-loved books with insights into his life and work from his children Rosie and Jim. With astute observations and boundless humour, country vet Herriot captures the spirit of the Yorkshire Dales and of rural communities on the cusp of change, before tractors and machines had taken over and modern medicines and antibiotics transformed veterinary work. Along the way a beloved cast of characters emerges, from the squabbling brothers Tristan and Siegfried to Herriot' s hapless courtship and eventual family life with Helen Anderson. But it' s the animals which are at the heart of Herriot' s stories. Whether he' s dodging a raging bull on a risky artificial insemination assignment, becoming pen pals with Tricki Woo the spoilt Pikingese or the inevitable trials and tribulations of lambing season, there' s never a dull moment in Herriot' s company. At times moving and often laugh-out-loud funny, The Wonderful World of James Herriot will delight fans old and new.
James Herriot (1916-1995) was the pen name of James Alfred ' Alf' Wight, 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. Rosie Page and Jim Wight are Herriot' s children. Rosie became a doctor and Jim was a vet.
