Farley Mowat was one of Canada's most beloved and widely read authors, a celebrated naturalist whose work championed the country's wildlife and wild places. Growing up with a menagerie that included owls, dogs, and gophers, his passion for the natural world was forged in childhood. Mowat's own youthful adventures with two famous pet owls, Wol and Weeps, provided the direct inspiration for the heartwarming and humorous stories found within Owls in the Family.
