James Herriot (1916-1995) was the bestselling author of memoirs 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 . At age 23, Herriot qualified for veterinary practice with the Glasgow Veterinary College, and moved to the town of Thirsk in Yorkshire to work in a rural practice. He would live in, work in, and write about the region for the rest of his life. Though he dreamed for years of writing a book, his veterinary work and his family kept him busy, and he did not start writing until the age of 50. In 1979, he was awarded the title Order of the British Empire (OBE). His veterinary practice in Yorkshire, England, is now tended by his son, Jim Wight. See less
The following is a personality profile of James Herriot based on his work.
James Herriot is genial.
He is empathetic, he feels what others feel and is compassionate towards them. He is calm-seeking as well: he prefers activities that are quiet, calm, and safe. But, James Herriot is also confident: he is hard to embarrass and is self-confident most of the time.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for self-expression.
He is relatively unconcerned with both tradition and achieving success. He cares more about making his own path than following what others have done. And he makes decisions with little regard for how they show off his talents.
