This review is from: James Herriot's Yorkshire (Hardcover)
A picture book for all lovers of Yorkshire with an okay text by the great vet. I got it for my Mum, a devout Yorkshire lass marooned in the south. She loved it.

A true taste of Northern England,
By sarah riley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: James Herriot's Yorkshire: A Guided Tour with the Beloved Veterinarian Through the Land of All Creatures Great and Small and Every Living Thing, (Paperback)
As a Yorkshire woman living in America, this book reminded me of the beauty of the varying Yorkshire landscapes. James Herriot's down to earth style alongside wonderful photographs transport you straight to the heart of Yorkshire. Read this and you'll want to visit.

A Must have - if you love Yorkshire.,
By Mary Lipscombe - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: James Herriot's Yorkshire: A Guided Tour with the Beloved Veterinarian Through the Land of All Creatures Great and Small and Every Living Thing, (Paperback)
I have owned a copy of this book for nearly 20 years, and each time I read it, it remains as fresh as the first time. I am at an advantage, because, living in Yorkshire, means that I have visted nearly every place, featured in the book. Believe me, it is just as beautiful in real life, as it is presented in this book. Yorkshire is affectionately known by we "Yorkies", as "God's Own Country", and to us, it is. We have bought this copy for a very dear friend of ours who lives in North Carolina, and we hope that he receives the pleasure which we do, by opening up the pages into a real insight of Yorkshire.

The charming life of James Herriot,
By B.P. "tilley_traveler" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: James Herriot's Yorkshire: A Guided Tour with the Beloved Veterinarian Through the Land of All Creatures Great and Small and Every Living Thing, (Paperback)
The pages of this book are filled with the good things of life. Memories. Not only those of the author, but also for the reader as well. To someone familiar with the titles by James Herriot, reading through this book is almost like reminiscing with an old friend. Spending time collectively on an open hillside overlooking a Yorkshire dale. Surrounded by the scent of heather, farmland, natural beauty and wild vistas. Wonderful escape. I've always been charmed by Herriot's stories and his writing.
As Herriot describes the places where he lived, practiced, and holidayed in Yorkshire he is equally as charming and sentimental. I couldn't even begin to highlight what is featured in this book. A range of geography, ancient ruins, villages and towns are mentioned. With just enough history and folklore. Also included is a basic map. Affectionately and exquisitely written. Impressively and lavishly photographed. You couldn't have a more personal, romantic account or tour outside of the real thing. Special and captivating. A treat to James Herriot fans. Recommendable book for outdoor reading too. |
