The Life of a Yorkshire Vet

BKSHB

Horses, Heifers and Hairy Pigs

Star of Channel 5’s television series
The Yorkshire Vet, Julian Norton has
written a warm, evocative and often
funny memoir of his life and the huge
variety of animals and people he has
met along the way. From his childhood
love of animals, through his training
and first steps in the profession and
the pressures and challenges faced by
vets, dealing with unexpected exotic
pets – and handling excitable humans
too – Julian has seen all sides of the
veterinary world and writes about it
all with humour and affection. Just as
happy calving a cow, treating a
dehydrated chameleon or tending to the
overgrown teeth of a rabbit, his
passion for his work shines through on
every page, as does his love for
Yorkshire. Published 100 years after
the birth of James Herriott, and with
a foreword by Herriott’s son Jim
Wight, Julian’s story is sometimes
sad, often funny and always warm and
compassionate, bringing to life the
world of the working vet and the highs
and lows he and his colleagues face on
a daily basis.
