Young James 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Accompanying a major BBC drama series, Young James uses previously unpublished diaries and casebooks from Herriot's days as a student to bring to life a fascinating time and place, and represents a thrilling new addition to the James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.
