' We had no antibiotics, few drugs. A lot of time was spent pouring things down cows' throats. The whole thing added up to a lot of laughs. There's more science now, but not so many laughs'. We all know James Herriot, possibly the most famous vet in the world. But how did a young student named Alf Wight become the man who would charm millions of readers the world over? " Young Herriot" tells the fascinating story of James Herriot's formative years at veterinary college. Set in Glasgow in the 1930s
- pre-antibiotics, when veterinary practice was, as Herriot wrote, 'more art than science'
- the book shines a light on his calling to work with animals (which began when he read an article in " Meccano Magazine" entitled ' Veterinary Surgery as a Career'), his early friendships & quest for knowledge at Glasgow's Veterinary College & the early development of his legendary compassion for animals. Accompanying a major BBC drama series, Young Herriot uses previously unpublished diaries & casebooks from Herriot's days as a student to bring to life a fascinating time & place, & represents a thrilling new addition to the James Herriot canon.
