nostalgic

I was asked to review this book by Nudge books.

Having grown up reading James Herriot books, watching the films, tv series I was interested to read this book. I had not know this was a tv series and to begin with thought this was about a modern day vet- yes it is but that he actually worked with the real life Alf Wight (James Herrot0 and Donald Sinclair (Siegfried Farnon).

This book brought back memories of some great tales of the dales and in some ways has brought back the love of the dales which veterinary practice has moved on since Alf Wright started in practice, but this is a new unexpected addition to the books I loved so much.

So Peter did work experience, worked with Jim Wight (son of Alf and author of Every Living Thing) trained as a vet and returned to the Dales. his path to veterinary college was not easy. The book gives a fascinating account of Peters life. The photographs of what we remember as James Herriot a nostalgic touch.

So recommended for James Herriot fan who thought there was nothing else once the books were read, watched repeats of adaptations and went to Thirsk to the "world of James Herriot" what a great find this book is.

My thanks to Nudge and the publishers - Mirror Books for letting me review this.
