Oh, I like to think Farley Mowat really was out there stewing field mice and crawling into wolf dens. He was pretty open about taking the bar with him, in writing, at least -- with the bush pilot he hired, he was a bit less candid. It don't hurt to lie when the stakes are high, I guess. My goddaughter the archeologist is not too keen on his account of the "Albans," but he is a sometimes charming read. As to wolves, I can't really see a good reason for keeping them around the house, myself. Unless to catch mice. And there are cats for that, or?
