Summary:
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 and quest for knowledge at Glasgow's Veterinary College and the
early
development of his legendary compassion for animals.
