Reseña del editor:
Read about the life of Britain's most beloved vet, who charmed us all with his bestselling tales of veterinary life in Yorkshire.
After qualifying as a vet in 1939, Alf Wight, aka James Herriot, moved to a veterinary practice in Thirsk, Yorkshire.
It wasn't until he was over fifty when his first book of stories about life as a Yorkshire vet, If Only They Could Talk, was published, giving birth to some of Yorkshire's most famous and much-loved literary characters, and later becoming the popular BBC television series All Creatures Great and Small. Not only did his books have great success, but they also inspired many to take up the profession, in what was known as the 'Herriot effect'.
Although he brought fame and fortune to himself and those around him, he remained an intensely private person, respected and trusted by those whose animals he cared for, and adored by millions of fans. This illuminating biography reveals the real man behind the title 'The World's Most Famous Vet'.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. No one is better placed to write the biography of Alf Wight, alias James Herriot, than the son who worked alongside him in the veterinary practice during the time that James Herriot became a bestselling author. In this warm and often poignant memoir Jim Wight writes of a man who, despite his huge success as a writer, remained unchanged by wealth and fame; an essentially private person whose family had to share him with his millions of fans throughout the world. Alf Wight was born in Sunderland, but moved a few weeks later to Glasgow; here he had a happy rough-and-tumble childhood, After training at the Glasgow Veterinary College he accepted a job in the North Yorkshire town of Thirsk (aka Darrowby) wher he remained in practice for over 50 years. The story of the young vet's journey to Thirsk to take up the post of assistant vet to Donald Sinclair (Siegfried Farnon) is one that is well known through James Herriot's celebrated books, as well as two films and the "All Creatures Great and Small" television series. Alf Wight was respected and trusted by everyone whose animals he tended and, as James Herriot, loved by a huge and loyal readership the world over. An illuminating biography that reveals the real man behind the title 'The World's Most Famous Vet'. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
