Product Description
Book 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 Yorkshirecombined 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 Revisitedbrings together never-before-seen photos with evocative excerpts from Herriot’s eight major works.
About the Author
James Herriotgrew up in Scotland and moved to Yorkshire after attending Glasgow Veterinary College. He was a practicing veterinarian in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, from 1940 until shortly before his death in 1995. All of James Herriot’s books have been international bestsellers, and were made into the immensely successful television series All Creatures Great and Small, as well as two-full length films. Despite his tremendous popularity, James Herriot remained an essentially private man and liked nothing more than to spend time with his family and dogs.
Derry Brabbsis an outstanding photographer whose first published works were used in James Herriot’s Yorkshire. He has written and supplied the photographs for several acclaimed books on the English countryside. He lives near Harrogate in North Yorkshire.

One man's fulfillment,
By Valerie B. Lull "Passionate about Health" - Published on Amazon.com
This book depicts a man in love. In love with the place where he lives and it comes through very clearly in the quotations from Herriot's writings that accompany the photographs in this book. Each photo is a picture of some place in Yorkshire with a quotation on the opposite page. I enjoyed this book a lot. It reminds me of peace, tanquility and a man very happy with his lot in life. How many of the rest of us can say that? -- Val lull

Nice Pictures of Yorkshire,
By Lauren S. Kahn - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book contains photos of Yorkshire in conjunction with text drawn from Herriot's books. If you are a fan of Herriot, you probably would enjoy the book. Since it is a bargain price, it might make a nice gift item as well--especially for someone who has traveled in Yorkshire. Mine came without that tell tale black "bargain stripe" on the spine.I found one drawback to be that the photos are not identified as to location except in the back of the book. The logic behind this is that they are supposed to evoke the atmosphere of what was said in the books (which may not have been a specific place) rather than a specific location. OK, then why put the locations in the back? Looking back there to identify the locations was cumbersome. 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful
