I was just thinking about getting about his youth books for my great nephew the other day.

RIP

Had to check the book listings I have in my collection and these are the ones I have.

NEVER CRY WOLF (Farley Mowat - PB)

MY DISCOVERY OF AMERICA (Farley Mowat – HC)

BORN NAKED (Farley Mowat – HC)

I also remember seeing a TV interview he did some years ago. He spoke of how Canada smuggled a V2 rocket out of Germany and over to Canada. Since none of our larger allies thought we could be trusted with such technology, we took things in our own hands. Farley was leading the group to smuggle it past the US check points. They built a conning tower for it, put it on a truck and told them it was a mini sub and were allowed to pass. And that's how we got one when the war was over.

RIP Good man.

I like the story of the Dutch town he and one other soldier liberated. They were part of a radio or signals unit or something and they bluffed the Germans out of town. It's been a while since I saw that program and I only saw it once so I'm pretty short on the details, but he certainly had some utterly amazing experiences. He definitely knew how to live life.
