Product Description
James Herriot lived and worked in North Yorkshire, England, for over fifty years, first and foremost as a vet, but in his later years as one of the world's most successful authors. Twenty years ago, the bestselling book, James Herriot's Yorkshire combined hundreds of color photos with a moving essay highlighting the places he loved so much - from the lush valley meadows in the springtime to the remote villages during the depths of winter. Now, two decades later, the Herriot estate has authorized the creation of a new book on Yorkshire that matches the original in both charm and grace. Complete with an introduction by James Herriot's son, Jim Wight, James Herriot's Yorkshire Revisited brings together never-before-seen photos with evocative excerpts from Herriot's eight major works.
Inside Flap Copy
James Herriot lived and worked in North Yorkshire for over fifty years, first and foremost as a veterinarian but also, in his later years, as one of the world?s most successful authors. In
James Herriot?s Yorkshire Revisited, extracts from James Herriot?s eight phenomenally successful books about life as a vet are elegantly paired with never-before-seen photographs of the landscape by Derry Brabbs, who provided the images for the celebrated
James Herriot?s Yorkshire (1979).
These vignettes of Herriot country describe scenes ranging from spring in the lush, lamb-sprinkled valleys, to desperate journeys across snow-laden winter moors. This book is a wonderful reminder of James Herriot?s immensely readable prose, and the superb accompanying photographs are an eloquent demonstration that little has changed in this beautiful corner of England.
