Farley Mowat

One of Canada's most popular and controversial authors, Farley Mowat has written novels, short stories, nonfiction, screenplays, and children's literature. John Orange's detailed biography of Mowat follows this "anti-authoritarian, intensely nationalistic, environmentally aware, and passionately romantic" writer's life from his early childhood years to the present day, offering a fascinating look at a man, who, throughout his tireless efforts to better a degenerating world, has managed to maintain a keen sense of humour and a deep sense of compassion.
