Young Herriot: The Early Life and Times of James Herriot Book

'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?
