The Real James Herriot: A Memoir of My Father
by Jim Wight
The author is the son of James Alfred (Alf)
Wight, better known by the pen name of "James
Herriot." This invaluable companion
to the Herriot stories offers priceless insights
into the man and his work, both as a vet
and as an author. Indeed, Jim Wight joined
the veterinary practice of Donald Sinclair
(the "Siegfried Farnon" of the
books) and Alf Wight in the 1960s, then took
charge after both men died in 1995.
Jim Wight has no pretensions to being an
author himself, but his dad’s agent knew
that such a memoir would be in great demand
among the millions of Herriot fans. He succeeds
nicely with a straightforward, dispassionate,
and fact-driven account. |
