As a surgeon I have become interested, in later life, in the history of our profession; Henry Gray was a surgeon/anatomist who, along with his colleague Henry Vandyke Carter who produced the illustrations, created the iconic anatomy text that bears his name and is still in print.. Unfortunately Gray died of smallpox at age 34 only three years after the book was published. As all his belongings were burned a lot of valuable memorabilia was destroyed. Hayes visited London to trace what is known of Gray's life, through old manuscripts and Carter's diaries. He also enrolled in anatomy dissection classes to really get a feel for what Gray and Carter achieved. Painstakingly researched and fascinating for this retired surgeon.
