Take a trip down memory lane and read about the life of Britain's most beloved vet, who charmed us all with his bestselling tales of veterinary life in Yorkshire. 'A wonderful, glorious insight into the life of the man behind the books' 5***** Reader Review 'Moving . . . A book I shall treasure and read several times' 5***** Reader Review ______ 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. Written by his son with touching insight, this illuminating biography reveals the real man behind the title 'The World's Most Famous Vet'. ______ Readers are captivated by The Real James Herriot: 'Fascinating . . . A wonderful and worthy testament' 5***** Reader Review 'A real insight into the life of someone you feel you knew and loved' 5***** Reader Review 'Extremely poignant, gives great insight into those unforgettable tales of a Yorkshire Vet' 5***** Reader Review

" Inspiring and heartwarming . . . A fascinating look at the man behind the bestselling books that touched so many lives." --JACK CANFIELD Author of Chicken Soup for the Soul " Detailed and thorough . . . The real-life models for the colorful characters and incidents in the Herriot books are lovingly explained throughout, making the book feel like an earnest 'making of' documentary." --The New York Times Book Review

JIM WIGHT took time out from the veterinary practice in Thirsk, where he worked with his father for many years, in order to write and then publicise this book. He lives just outside Thirsk in North Yorkshire.
