“James Herriot found a gentle, wise and often humorous way to write about animals and to evoke a beautiful but fading way of life in those Yorkshire Hills. He showed me how to focus not just on the animals, but on the people who lived with the animals, and their loving, sometimes difficult and very wonderful connections with one another. While he is known for his wonderful writing about animals, I often think of his ability to capture people. From the first, I’ve tried to capture that feeling, that uplifting and heartwarming style. I can’t say that I have ever quite matched the writing of James Herriot, but he has always inspired me and given me something to aim for. He often makes me smile, sometimes makes me cry, you can’t really ask more from a writer than that.” ―Jon Katz, New York Times bestselling author of Second Chance Dog, A Dog Year, A Good Dog, and many others
