James Herriot became famous throughout the world for his books that captured the essence of life in the Yorkshire Dales in the 1930s and 40s. The characters were portrayed with all their foibles and contradictions, their tight-fistedness and their generosity but, above all, their courage and gritty humour. Each of the fabulous, lifelike figurines tell their own story and bring to life many of these characters from the tales of Britain's favourite vet.
