People of the Deer

Farley Mowat (1921-2014) was a prolific Canadian author and environmentalist best known for his books Never Cry Wolf, People of the Deer, and Lost in the Barrens, which advocated for wildlife conservation and Inuit rights while blending personal adventure with nature writing. He served in World War II, authored over 45 books sold in 17 million copies across 52 languages, and received the Governor General's Award, Order of Canada, and Vicky Metcalf Award, though his works faced controversy over factual liberties he justified as serving greater truths.
