description: No single book could represent such a singular, widely curious figure as Farley Mowat, but Lost in the Barrens, the classic adventure tale that has introduced his work to generations of Canadians, is an excellent place to start. Set in the icy North that has been Mowat's continuing source of inspiration, Lost in the Barrens is a thrilling example of the gift for storytelling that makes almost any story Mowat wants to tell worth a listen.
