Herriot, James / Escritor
** Now a major TV series on Channel 5 **Now settled into the sleepy Yorkshire village of Darrowby, and married to Helen the farmerÂ’s daughter, James Herriot thinks heÂ’s finally got himself sorted. But life as a vet in the 1930s was never going to be easy. Quite aside from his unpredictable colleagues, brothers Siegfried and Tristan Farnon, he must contend with new-fangled medical techniques, delivering calves after far too much home-made wine, and a grudge-holding dog called Magnus who never forgets.
And then, with Britain on the verge of war, James faces a decision that could separate him from Darrowby – and Helen – for ever . . .
