Exuberant, mercurial, melancholic, gregarious and generous-Farley Mowat, one of our most beloved writers, is brought to life in this remarkable biography Bestselling author James King has created a masterful and intimate portrait of this many-layered man: his failed relationships, his wanderlust, his compassion for the underdog, his lasting marriage to his second wife, Claire. At the heart of this story is Farley’s intense love-hate relationship with his father, a framework, as King points out, for the writer’s successes-and failures. Granted unprecedented access to Farley’s large circle of family, friends, colleagues-and even a few enemies-King has succeeded in creating a literary biography that entertains, illuminates and captures perfectly the elusive spirit of Canada’s most successful writer.
