    Actually, not to be too hard on myself, my secondary education was totally screwed by house moves.

    I wanted to be a Zoologist. Always animal-mad.
    Hence the reading of Darwin's book in its entirity?

    Yes, at about 9 years old.

    I'd also read David Attenborough's books about collecting animals for the Zoological Society of London before he'd ever been heard of on TV. One of my hobbies (apart from keeping literally hundreds of pets) was collecting and assembling skeletons.

    At 10 or 11 years old I could also be found sitting in a tree in the middle of the local woods on dark January nights, Badger and Fox watching, complete with my 'Naturalists' Expedition Kit' and notebook.

    I also bred 'Exhibition' Mice in various varieties.

    When I was 14 I had an article about Field Voles published in a wild life magazine.

    Reminds me of a movie called the Bone Collector....
