Author : James Herriot

James Herriot, the pen name of James Alfred Wight, OBE, FRCVS, was a renowned English veterinary surgeon and author known for his heartfelt, semi-autobiographical tales of rural veterinary life. Born in 1916, Herriot graduated from Glasgow Veterinary College in 1939 and began his career in a rural practice in Thirsk, Yorkshire, where he would work for the rest of his life. After being encouraged by his wife, he started writing in 1966, leading to the publication of "If Only They Could Talk" in 1970, which later became a bestseller under the title "All Creatures Great and Small" in the United States. Herriot's books, rich in humor and keen observations, capture the essence of Yorkshire country life, portraying the deep bond between animals and their owners. While his stories feature lively animal characters, they also delve into the complexities of human relationships, offering readers a blend of warmth, charm, and insightful commentary on the human condition.
