Description
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 irrcisive portrait of a remarkable man ~ whose charm and modesty remained unchanged by phenomenal success. Paperback. 372 pages. In good to very good condition with the exception of minor creasing evident primarily on the back cover and an black mark on the front cover. Previous owner’s name written at the top of the first inside page.
