Although I was mortified when I first learned that 'James Herriot' was not the real name of the author who had since childhood enthralled me with beautifully written stories of the strong bonds between the human and animal worlds, I realize now that this was a selfish attitude--I did not want 'James Herriot' to protect himself and his friends from the inevitable media coverage that resulted from his multi- million book sales, Jim Wight tells his father's story with humor, compassion, and candor. Thirsk Tourist Information. I think James Herriot was always an author I really liked, so it's interesting to have some background information and a few backstories of people and animals who became characters in his books. Quotes from The Real James He Shortly after their wedding, the Wights moved from Brandling Street, Sunderland to Glasgow in Scotland, where James took work as both a ship plater and pianist for a local cinema, while Hannah was a singer as well as a dressmaker. These things, to me, are expressions of love. The Guardian. This is an excellent biography of a man who was a veterinary surgeon and later on in his life a best selling author. Language: ENG. His last book, Every Living Thing , immediately went into the top 10 best-seller list in Britain, and had an , copy first edition printing in the United States. With full access to his father's papers, correspondence, manuscripts, and photos, Wight has created a fitting and affectionate tribute to the well-loved vet and author of "All Creatures Great and Small". Seller Inventory Archived from the original on 26 February Namespaces Article Talk. Biographies Lord, Graham. Well written and a joy to read. I must admit I'm bemused by his bemusement! James Herriot has to be one of the most beloved authors in history, and the delightful thing about this book is that it shows the person behind the books was just as good as the books! In the United States, Herriot's novels were considered too short to publish independently, and so several pairs of novels were collected into omnibus volumes. Written by the son of James Herriot, Jim Wight is not the writer his father was, but the stories in the book that run along the same vein are entertaining and informing; however, the book is a biography of James Herriot, not a memoir of the veterinary life; the few stories included are fun, but incidental. Book Description Condition: New. In fact, Dick Francis is mentioned s Jim Wight has written a moving tribute to his father, James Alfred Wight, known as James Herriot to millions of fans around the world. May 18, Dina Tanners rated it really liked it. Wight was just as interested in their owners as he was in his patients and his writing is, at root, an amiable but keen comment on the human condition. No matter how famous he became he always considered himself a veterinary surgeon and family man first. There was a man I knew, who possessed all the virtues of the famous veterinarian - and more. Apr 30, Linore rated it it was amazing. Not only did his books have great success, but they also inspired many to take up the profession, in what was known as the 'Herriot effect'. That was really surprising. The reality of the man's life was quite different. We learn that Alf's life was not always as great as he led us to believe. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Laura Ingalls Wilder came off as boring and slightly annoying, while Alf Wight came off even more interesting than I would have expected — and a decent human being as well! His son Jim does an excellent job detailing the life of his father and the wonderful man that he was. Jim Wight does not quite have the flair of his father, but occasionally he tells a story or quotes a letter and that certain something shows through. He established a wonderful rapport with farmers and their animals in Yorkshire,England. The Economist. New York: Ballantine Books. Alf Wight as he is described in this book was a kind, funny, hard-working man who stayed humble even when he finally became very successful. Mar 22, Christie Bane rated it it was amazing. Thirsk Town Council. Retrieved 7 April He practiced in a time before antibiotics and technology. From a historical standpoint, the stories help document a transitional period in the veterinary industry; agriculture was moving from the traditional use of beasts of burden in Britain, primarily the draught horse to reliance upon the mechanical tractor and medical science was just on the cusp of discovering the antibiotics and other drugs that eliminated many of the ancient remedies still in use. The books have been adapted for film and television, including a film titled All Creatures Great and Small and a long-running BBC television programme of the same title.

And that's the real point of the book. This authorized biography by Jim Wight, son of James Alfred Wight, who wrote under the pen name of James Herriot, is amazingly well written. The animal characters also prevent Wight's stories from becoming twee or melodramatic - animals, unlike some humans, do not pretend to be ailing, nor have they imaginary complaints and needless fears.

In a couple of places, Wight seems to inadvertently fall into the trap of recounting stories we've already heard told so masterfully in Herriot's canon. Apr 15, Jane rated it it was amazing.

Mrs I.C de Wet, 3 Holly Close, Sowerby, Thirsk, YO7 1SH, Tel: 01845 522401. email: [email protected] Minutes of the meeting held on 13th July 2020 at 7.15pm. The meeting was held by telephone as face to face meetings were not currently possible. Present: Cllrs. A. Pollard, B. Edgeworth, C, Worley and County Councillor G. Dadd. Apologies were received from District Councillor A. Robinson who stated that he had nothing to report as there were no meetings at HDC at the moment. He hoped that things would soon get back to normal. NY County Council Report. County Councillor Dadd outlined the Government’s plan and timetable to link devolution deals with the establishment of new unitary councils across England. That would mean ending the current arrangement in North Yorkshire whereby District and Borough councils provide some local services in their local areas and the County Council delivers strategic services like children’s services and education, health and social care, safeguarding and highways across the whole county. It is not yet clear how what a new unitary system for North Yorkshire would look like but Councillor Dadd said it was the only way to secure the many positive benefits of devolution. Government had also stated that a devolution agreement would include the formation of a Combined Authority with an elected Mayor. The timeline was very tight, with bids to be submitted by September this year and those which were successful in this round to be established as early as May 2022 https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/news/article/north-yorkshire-consider-reorganisation-devolution 20.070 The minutes of the telephone Meeting of the Council on June 8th 2020 were approved.

The draft SPD was not accompanied by a Sustainability Appraisal given that under revised regulations and legislation effective from April 2009, Sustainability Appraisals (SA) of SPDs are no longer required unless demonstrated otherwise. Prior to consultation, responses from the three key Consultees (English Heritage, Natural England and the Environment Agency) have confirmed that as the SPD is not introducing new policy but expanding on the adopted Core Strategy and Development Policies DPD, subject to an SA in their own right, and there are no significant environmental impacts arising, no further SA/SEA is necessary. All documents were made available: • to read or download from the Council’s website (www.hambleton.gov.uk) • to view at all the local libraries and District Council offices; and • upon request from Planning Policy (CD or paper copy) Planning agents, neighbouring authorities, interest groups, town/parish councils and other relevant businesses with a relevant address on the Council’s database at the time of consultation were notified, via email, if available, or postal address alternatively.
