I read this book because my mother starts raving about how amazing it is every time Farley Mowat's name is mentioned. I have to agree with her, the book is fabulous. I love the chapters with the owls - I will definitely be reading Owls in the Family next. Highly recommend!

Released at annual high tea book exchange with local group.

What a lovely afternoon of good friends, excellent tea and so much great food. I am thrilled to have picked this book because of the first sentence...”An oppressive darkness shadowed the city of Saskatoon on an August day in 1929.”
My Dad was born in 1929.
I remember checking this book out of the library when I was quite young and I read it twice before I returned it. I am honoured to have this chance to read this old favourite once more. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon and for releasing this book to me. Best wishes!

Brought this home from the June meet up at Cravings.

Oops - should have been a JE! Not a release. It is after 10 at night, what more can I say.

I chuckled my way through this book. What a great one to read on holidays. I read the e version while on holidays. Had to read certain sections out loud to my husband while he was driving. Think he really needs to read the whole thing. Dogs and owls and little boys - what's not to love.

I am taking this to the December meetup at Cravings Restaurant.

Picked up at the December meeting.

Returned to owner.
