James Herriot's delightful stories have brought joy to millions and were turned into two films and a hugely popular television series.
Yet Herriot did not have his first book published until he was fifty-three. Nor did he start to become famous until his second book 'It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet', and he always attributed that first success to Graham Lord's glowing review in the 'Sunday Express' in 1972. Now Lord has written the detailed story of James Herriot's life from his unknown early days in Glasgow to the fifty years he spent working as a country vet in the Yorkshire Dales.
This is the first biography of the world's best-loved vet. It is a warm but incisive portrait of a remarkable man whose charm and modesty remained unchanged by phenomenal success.
