Présentation de l'éditeur
'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 practise 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.
Accompanying a major BBC drama series, Young Herriot uses previously unpublished diaries and casebooks from Herriot's days as a student to bring to life a fascinating time and place, and represents a thrilling new addition to the James Herriot canon.
Quatrième de couverture
We all know James Herriot, the author of the legendary All Creatures Great and Small, but how did a young student named Alf Wight become the man who won the hearts of readers the world over? Young Herriot is the fascinating story of Alf's formative years in Glasgow and the work at the veterinary college that began his career.
Based on Wight's college diaries and case notes, as well as original research into the history of the time, Young Herriot brings to life the by-gone era of veterinary medicine during the 1930s - the 'good old bad old days' before antibiotics - as well as Wight's personal experiences when faced with the curriculum and the teaching regime at Glasgow Veterinary College.
Accompanying a major BBC drama series, Young Herriot is a stunning addition to the James Herriot canon - a richly nostalgic tale of one ordinary boy's journey to become an extraordinary, world famous vet and writer.
