Never Cry Wolf was his heartfelt cry for an understanding of the natural world - a message that was stunning and new. It was alsó a grand story, full of humour and adventure. The Dominion Wildlife Service sent Mowat to the Barren Lands of Canada's North to study the wolves. He was to live alone in a tent among these feared predators. It was, all agreed, a dangerous mission. Armed with regulation-issue toilet paper (twelve rolls), two rifles, a revolver, two shotguns, and a case of tear-gas grenades, Mowat instead found himself in a lost Eden, a land the South had yet to discover. His subjects greeted him not with slavering jowls but with friendly interest. With time, he learned how the wolves lived, discovered their intense family relationships, and proved that they hunt wounded and weak animals. In the process, Mowat alsó discovered his life's passión. Hilarious yet poignant, Never Cry Wolf remains fresh and compelling, a book that continues to change the way the world thinks. FARLEY MOWAT is the best-selling author of over thirty-five books, including Lost in the Barrens, Owls in the Family, The Dog Who Wouldn't Be, and The Boát Who Wouldnt Float. Vissza
