Oftentimes, actors need to negotiate some scary maneuver that they’re really not prepared for. That happened to Samuel West, who’s co-starring in PBS’ “All Creatures Great and Small,” which returns to.
<br/>On Tuesday, January 17th, at 6:00 p.m. central time, the LaSalle Public Library will virtually host Anglophile and former UK resident, Claire Evans, for a presentation on the life of Alf Wight, an unassuming country veterinarian who practiced for fifty years in one of England’s most beautiful places, the Yorkshire Dales. <br/><br/>Wight rose to international fame later in life under the pen name, James Herriot, as he recounted the heartwarming animal stories and colorful characters of a bygone era, inspiring a film and multiple television series. Bask in the visual beauty of Claire’s recent Yorkshire Dales visit, and learn the surprising story of a vet whose books still entertain millions in this unique presentation. <br/><br/>The program is free, open to the public, and presented virtually through Zoom.
