Farley Mowat

Writer and environmentalist -- via CTV News. One of my absolute favorite writers! His compelling style, marvellously frank and conversational, has been a model for my work. Favorites: "The Boat Who Wouldn't Float," "The Siberians," "And No Birds Sang," his flawless memoir of WWII combat, and of course "Never Cry Wolf." No one was ever better able to cry "Bullshit!"
