I’m pretty sure he and his family moved to Nova Scotia, Canada and then later to Papua New Guinea.

What ever happened to Brian Nettleton, who the Calum Buchanon character was based on?

I started reading the James Herriot books when I was on a working holiday in the U. K in 1974 and have read them periodicly ever since. When my son graduated from Sydney uni (Australia) in 2004 and started working as a vet I started reading them again as things that happened in the book were also happening to him.
Last year 2009 I bought my Dad (86 years old) to Europe for a holiday and to go to York where my Mum was bought up until she left for N. Z just after the war. We visited the Herriot museum and it was a high light of our trip.

They were translated but have been out of print for some time. You could check Amazon or maybe even http://www.amazon.fr. Also, AbeBooks has a huge selection of used James Herriot books. Good luck!

Were the books translated into French? I’d like to give one to my French – country – vet. If not, am I entitled to translate some of the chapters for him personally? I live in the Creuse, France, and there are many similarities to the place and time of the “JH” stories.

The only one I have ever been able to find is James Herriot Reads from His Books If Only They Could Talk and It Shouldn’t Happen to a Vet which is sometimes on Amazon, as well as eBay. As far as I know, I don’t think he ever read any others. Good luck!

I once listened to an audio tape of some James Herriot stories, read by the author. His voice and accent were amazing and I would love to locate copies of those again. Does anyone know anything about them? Everything I can find now is read by Christopher Timothy, who is very nice, but not what I remember.
