About this listen

This is the life story of vet Peter Wright, charting his working relationship with the famous 'James Herriot', from work experience with him as a lad, to taking over his practice in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

Packed full of laugh-out loud moments, heartbreaking stories and transporting tales of his love for working with the animals and people of this breathtaking part of the country. Covering his bucolic childhood growing up on a farm right through to the heady days of his successful Channel 5 TV series, Peter's warm nature and professional attitude shine through.

Really enjoyable and insightful with plenty of laughs along the way. Alf and Donald would approve.

Herriot's legacy is in safe hands.

Some critics say the book is all about Peter Wright not vet stories. To those i say “This is an autobiography”. Bear this in mind and it is a good read especially for those who have watched the TV series. It is about an ordinary humble man pushed into the limelight by TV but it still has that human humble touch.

A good book but remember it is an autobiography

I have listened to this Audible book twice and enjoyed his book especially with the familiar voice of Christopher Timothy. Thank you to you both.

A pleasant journey in to Peter's vet life.
