And No Birds Sang » (Revised Edition)

Farley Mowat was born in 1921 in Belleville, Ontario. One of the greatest storytellers of our time, he has written more than 35 eloquent and popular books, including fiction, books about the environment, and humour. He is a member of the Order of Canada.

During World War II, Farley Mowat fought in Italy and Sicily with the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment. And No Birds Sang is the gripping eyewitness account of a young man in combat, detailing everything from how he lost his virginity to his growing disenchantment with war. Heard in the author's own voice, And No Birds Sang showcases both Mowat's irrepressible urge to tell a good story and the serious purpose behind it.
