Order of James Herriot Books

James Herriot is the pseudonym of English author James Alfred Wight (1916-1995), who chronicled his experiences as a veterinarian. Although he had always aspired to write, his veterinary work took up most of his time. Eventually, his wife encouraged him to pursue his writing. Due to the veterinary profession's disapproval of advertising through writing, he chose to use the pen name James Herriot. He is most famous for his book All Creatures Great and Small and its sequels. In addition to his animal tales, he wrote extensively about Yorkshire, where his practice was located. James Herriot became a published author in 1970 with If Only They Could Talk. His last published work, released posthumously, was James Herriot’s Yorkshire Revisited in 1999. Below is a list of James Herriot’s books in the order of their original publication.
