If you are one of the multi-millions of people worldwide that love the works of James Herriot, the beloved Scottish born veterinarian that practised under his real name, James Alfred (Alf) Wight, in beautiful Yorkshire England countryside, YOU WILL ADORE THIS LOVING AND HONESTLY WRITTEN BOOK BY HIS VERY SON, Jim Wight. You'll hear the first hand stories of all the wonderful characters that his Dad worked with, lived with, and wrote so much about. You'll also quickly realize that "the apple didn't fall far from the tree", as Jim Wight has his Father's amazing gift of writing the words that tell every detail of a story and each and every sentence flow, seemingly, effortlessly. I myself, just a reader that fell completely in love with author that his Dad was, hanging on every word and deeply saddened when I came to the end of one of his books; reading them ALL, over and over and over again. I was completely devastated when his Dad passed. I can't imagine the loss his son, Jim, felt. To have the courage to write so truthfully about his Dad, and so soon. Truly amazing. He must be so much like his Father, and you can hear it in every word he writes in this book about his Father. If ANY man deserves heaven it IS Alf Wight.
