Reading James Herriot's books is like a ray of warm sunlight on a winter day! I'm reading them for the fifth time, and I enjoy them as if it were the first!

At 1.45, 1.54, 209, that is the real James and Helen Herriott immediately to the left of the bride. A great writer. Still have his original published books from the seventies.
