McClelland & Stewart is pleased to announce that beloved Canadian author Farley Mowat has will be inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame! Born in Ontario between the two world wars Farley Mowat spent his childhood largely in the company of wildlife, an experience he chronicled beautifully in Owls in the Family, The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be and Born Naked. Later, his experiences in the Second World War inspired the memoir, And No Birds Sang – one of the most searing anti-war books ever written. His lifelong commitment to the natural world and traditional ways of life spawned a stunning body of work that includes Never Cry Wolf, Bay of Spirits and this year’s forthcoming Eastern Passage. In all, Mowat has a body of work of over 40 books, encompassing fiction, non-fiction and young adult. These have been translated into over 50 languages and have sold literally millions upon millions of copies worldwide.
