    The daughter and son of Alf Wight, author of the James Herriot books, will provide an insight into their father's famous stories, at Harrogate Library this week.

    The book signing event on Wednesday with Rosie Page and Jim Wight marks the publication of The Wonderful World of James Herriot.

    It is being organised by Harrogate bookshop Imagined Things and will include a question and answer session.

    The new book, a classic collection of the late author's stories, contains insights from his children.

    It looks sure to appeal to fans of the best-selling All Creatures Great and Small books and the current smash-hit Channel 5 TV series, set in the rural communities of the Yorkshire Dales.

    Ian Ashton, managing director, the World of James Herriot tourist attraction in Thirsk, said:

    “Rosie and Jim’s insights add authenticity to the many tales of the animals and people which are at the heart of Herriot’s stories.
    "There’s never a dull moment in Herriot’s company, whether he’s becoming pen pals with Tricki Woo the spoilt Pekingese, dodging a raging bull on a risky artificial insemination assignment, or the inevitable trials and tribulations of lambing season, Rosie and Jim have seen it all”.


    The book signing starts at 7.15. Tickets cost £5 (redeemable to those who purchase a copy of the book) and are available at the shop, or by calling 01423 391301.
