A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

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.

Biographie de l'auteur :

James Herriot started work as a vet in the Yorkshire Dales in 1940, and retired only shortly before he died, in 1995. His internationally bestselling books were made both into films and the incredibly successful television series All Creatures Great and Small.

Derry Brabbs is an acclaimed photographer who has written and illustrated several books on the British countryside.
