Mowat, Farley Born Naked
Houghton Mifflin 1995 0395735289 / 9780395735282 Trade Paperback Fine
Near-new condition - NO writing, marks or tears - Tight spine - Bright pages - 256 pages - Farley Mowat's books have the singular property of combining the readability of personal memoirs with an intense consciousness of the natural world, Born Naked, Mowat's first book of straightforward autobiography, recounts in sprightly terms a boyhood spent in the woods of Ontario, on the plains of Saskatchewan, at the beaches of British Columbia, and on the tundra around Hudson Bay. The young Farley soon struck up a devoted friendship with "the Others" - the birds and beasts, the owls and snakes with whom he found a companionship that he could never attain with his own kind - and encountered a boyhood paradise. The book is centered on the years 1933-1937, beginning with the Mowat family's move west from Ontario to Saskatoon and ending with their return to Ontario. Farley's youth was charmed and hilarious, and he was unbelievably free in his access to unspoiled nature. He was a registered ornithologist by the tender age of fourteen. Bird-banding expeditions, overnight outings in the dead of winter, sleeping in haystacks for survival, were regular activities. Accompanying an uncle to Hudson Bay, Farley dangled over cliffs and faced grizzly bears to collect egg specimens from breeding arctic birds. Born Naked also chronicles Mowat's first efforts as a writer, which climaxed in his being fired from the Saskatoon Star Phoenix for a too-graphic description of the underwater mating practices of the ruddy duck. It also brings back Mutt, the famous hero-dog of Mowat's classic The Dog Who Wouldn't Be, and Farley's pet owl Wol, hero of Owls in the Family. The tale of a uniquely adventurous and clever boy, Born Naked takes its place as the foundation of the Farley Mowat canon.

Mowat, Farley Woman in the Mists: The Story of Dian Fossey and the Mountain Gorillas of Africa
Warner Books Inc 1987 0446513601 / 9780446513609 First Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Very Good
Very-nice, clean copy of this First Edition (so-stated). Dustcover shows 2 small closed tears. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. 380 pages. Illustrated with photos. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly Mowat, author of Never Cry Wolf and Sea of Slaughter, had access to Fossey's private papers; he has used excerpts from her diaries, amplifying the material with interviews from people who knew her wellfriends, enemies, colleagues, lovers. It is a gripping story from beginning to gruesome end, filled with drama, intrigue and love affairs. Fossey was an attractive, intelligent, determined woman; she was duped by some of the men in her life and, in the end, victim of ugly rumors and lies. Mowat redresses the record and offers a new theory about her murder in Africa in 1985. He believes that the two-year extension of her visa was Fossey's death warrant, that she had become a threat to Rwandans who wanted to exploit parkland for tourismnot a poacher, but a hired assassin killed Fossey. Her mercurial personality alone gives the book a wider audience than most in the nature-adventure genreand it is fitting that such a passionate defender of wildlife as Mowat write about her. Illustrations. (October 13) Library Journal The murder of Dian Fossey at her research camp in Rwanda focused world attention on her 19 years of struggle to study and preserve the mountain gorilla. Mowat ( Never Cry Wolf ) has, as intended, organized Fossey's journals into a biography that quotes her writings so heavily as to be autobiographical. Much of the text parallels material in Fossey's Gorillas in the Mist ( LJ 5/15/83) but provides additional insights into her personal life, difficulties in maintaining funding, and the continuation of her work up to her death in 1985. This gripping, action-packed story is essential reading for all who understand the sacrifice of self for the preservation of other species. Highly recommended.
