The Yorkshire Vet In the Footsteps of Herriot
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback
Overview:
Immerse yourself in two intimate Yorkshire memoirs from Peter Wright, where the county's rolling dales, hedgerows, and community come to life on the page. My Yorkshire Great and Small invites you to wander through Thirsk's lanes and into the lives of the animals, neighbours, and stories that shape Wright's early years. The prose blends nostalgic recollections with sharp observations about how rural life has evolved, celebrating local history while embracing the vitality of today’s countryside. In The Yorkshire Vet In the Footsteps of Herriot, readers follow a veterinarian’s remarkable journey—from work experience with the legendary James Herriot to taking over a thriving practice in the Yorkshire Dales. Wright’s warmth, humor, and professional candor illuminate the challenges and joys of animal care, community service, and lifelong learning. Together, these two books offer a complete, heartwarming tour of a place many readers already feel they know—and many more will want to discover for themselves.
What Makes This Collection Special:
Two memoirs, one unmistakable sense of place. This collection threads the personal and the professional into a cohesive reading journey: a vivid portrait of Yorkshire life and a behind-the-scenes memoir of veterinary practice shaped by mentorship, community, and a love of animals. The continuity of voice—genuine, approachable, and quietly humorous—lets readers grow with Peter Wright as his experiences broaden from childhood memories to a prominent veterinary career and television presence. The set is ideal for binge-reading, with each title standing alone, yet together they form a richer portrait of the man, his craft, and the landscapes that inspire him. It also makes a thoughtful gift for animal lovers, countryside enthusiasts, and fans of James Herriot’s legacy, offering both nostalgia and new discoveries in one attractive, well-packaged package.
