His early experiences living and working with Siegfried Farnon and Siegfried’s brother Tristan are told in short, anecdotal chapters including the comings and goings at Skeldale House, meeting quirky Dale farmers and townspeople, and caring for their animals. (St. Martin’s Publishing Group, reissue edition, 2020.) Did You Know?  James Herriot was a pen name chosen by British veterinarian, James Alfred Wight.

PBS All Creatures Great and Small aims to be timely tonic | News, Sports, Jobs

Jan 9, 2021 LOS ANGELES (AP) “All Creatures Great and Small,” a beloved TV series of yore, is back as a reboot because producer Colin Callender saw the seriocomic adventures of veterinarians in a close-knit rural community as tonic for a politically divisive era. Then the pandemic arrived, and a series knitted together with vivid characters, engaging stories and the beautifully filmed British countryside and, of course, lots of animals, farm and otherwise provided more reason to revive the world depicted by author James Herriot. Herriot was the pen name for James Alfred “Alf” Wight, who began working as a novice vet in northern England’s Yorkshire area in 1940, kept at it for five decades, and drew on his experiences for his 1970s and ’80s semi-autobiographical works.
