Describes the rolling dales of the countryside as well as the characters, shops, and storefronts of this quaint village of northern England

When you enter the world of James Herriot's Animal Stories , you’ll share his wonder and humor, his adventures and misadventures as he contends with pet owners and landowners; rough-spoken farmers and soft-spoken gentry; orphaned lambs, litters of piglets and puppies, cattle and draught horses; and a miscellany of cats and dogs including, of course, Mrs. Pumphrey’s inimitable Pekinese, Tricki Woo.

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.
