Bookmark - Herriott Statue in Thirsk

Statue of my hero storyteller in Thirsk - that of the famed Jim Wight, a.k.a. James Herriott.  The man really made a difference in the lives of millions.  With as great a facility as he had with language its easy to imagine that he just sat down to write down his stories and there they were.  Not the case at all!  He worked hard at his craft all his adult life, and as fate would have it was given an opportunity to share them with a grateful world.
