This is an auction for JAMES HERRIOT'S YORKSHIRE.

"A lovely book; its gentleness has a special animation. To those who already love the wild uplands and lonely moors and broad dales, it speaks with no delay."

• Christian Science Monitor (US)

Amazon.com review:

"Yorkshire is Herriot country - restless winds ruffling the heather on the moors, rustic stone walls stretching across lush green dales, gentle sheep grazing near isolated farmhouses. All the cherished scenes and memorable characters of the wonderful Herriot books come to life as the world's most beloved veterinarian takes you it his favourite places . . . and in warm, loving, deeply enriching commentary, shares with you memories of his life with Helen, Siegfried, Tristan and the special animals he has so tenderly cared for in this hauntingly beautiful corner of England."

From Wikipedia:

"James Herriot is the pen name of James Alfred Wight, OBE (1916-1995), a British veterinary surgeon and writer. Wight is best known for his semi-autobiographical stories, often referred to collectively as All Creatures Great and Small, a title used in some editions and in film and television adaptations . . . The Herriot books are often described as "animal stories", and given that they are about the life of a country veterinarian, animals certainly play a significant role in most of the stories . . . "
