Über den Autor
James Herriot (1916-1995) was the pen name of James Alfred Alf Wight, an English veterinarian whose tales of veterinary practice and country life have delighted generations. Many of Herriot's works-including All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, All Things Wise and Wonderful, The Lord God Made Them All, and Every Living Thing-became international bestsellers and have been adapted for film and television. Herriot's stories rely on numerous autobiographical elements taken from his life in northern England's Yorkshire County, and they depict a simple, rustic world deeply in touch with the cycles of nature.
