Could it be "James Herriot" ?

It is James Herriot (James Alfred Wight)

Books

If Only They Could Talk (1970)
It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet (1972)
All Creatures Great and Small (1972)
Let Sleeping Vets Lie (1974)
Vet in Harness (1974)
All Things Bright and Beautiful (1974)
Vets Might Fly (1976)
Vet in a Spin (1977)
All Things Wise and Wonderful (1977)
James Herriot's Yorkshire (1979)

Every Living Thing (1992)
James Herriot's Cat Stories (1994)
James Herriot's Favourite Dog Stories (1995)
Only One Woof 1974


In the United States, Herriot's novels were considered too short to publish independently, and so several pairs of novels were collected into omnibus volumes. The title All Creatures Great and Small was taken from the second line of the hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful, and inspired by a punning suggestion from Herriot's daughter, who thought the book should be called Ill Creatures Great and Small.

All Creatures Great and Small (1972) (incorporating If Only They Could Talk and It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet)
All Things Bright and Beautiful (1974) (incorporating Let Sleeping Vets Lie and Vet in Harness)
All Things Wise and Wonderful (1977) (incorporating Vets Might Fly and Vet in a Spin)

VS Naipaul says he won't write about India any more

Karnad slams 'tone-deaf' Naipaul

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-11-03/mumbai/34892461_1_girish-karnad-v-s-naipaul-indian-culture


Rabindranath Tagore a 'second-rate playwright', Girish Karnad says

"Tagore was a great poet but a mediocre and second-rate playwright. He produced his plays but those were never produced by his contemporaries. The contemporary Bengali theatre never accepted them. I think they did one or two plays. His comedy succeeded but not his other plays."
