From the Back Cover:
On September 2, 1939, Farley Mowat was painting the porch of his family's home when his ebullient father drove into the driveway and shouted, "Farley, my lad, there's big bloody news! The war is on!" Eighteen-year-old Farley responded with glee, but four years later, pinned down in the wintry mud of Italy, he saw a soldier "humping jerily away from his own leg, which had been severed at the thigh. In the instant I saw him, he gave one final bubbling shriek, collapsed and mercifully was still." And No Birds Sang is Mowat's gripping account of how a young man excited by the prospect of battle, is transformed into a war-weary veteran.

Farley Mowat is one of the world's foremost nature writers and conservationists. He is the author of 39 books, including Never Cry Wolf, Sea of Slaughter, and The Snow Walker. He and his wife, Claire Mowat, divide their time between Ontario and Nova Scotia.
