All Creatures Great and Small

After reading the books for over 25 years, I finally had the opportunity to go see where the James Herriot books took place. They were written by James Alfred Wight, and took place in Thirsk in the Yorkshire Dales. But all this was not before a trip to York!

Nice video, thanks for posting. One glaring error in it...you should have at least for a sec or two showed the face of the lady who did the major narration. Would have just been appropriate narrative wise. Still, a lovely video and I hope to be there someday.

Thanks for the comment regarding the video. My wife is the one who narriated and edited it, so don't think she wanted to be in it...

Delightful people doing the video. Great laugh and voice from the woman working the camera. Glad to note others love Herriot, too.

I was born in Thirsk in the seventies and remember Mr. White ( James Herriot ). His daughter was my Doctor at the local surgery, and my brother actually got a small walk on part in one episode of the show. He was " boy with hat " in episode six of the third series, and still has a script wiht the cast signatures!!

OMG...you and me! I went there in 1998 and cried when I went to the door. He was the man that gave me my love of reading, and is still my favorite writer. I had tea and clotted cream in the little shop he frequented too!
