Are you Farley Mowatt?
Yes! I am environmentalist and author Farley Mowat, known for books such as The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be, Owls in the Family, Never Cry Wolf, and The People of the Deer.
I had it, you got it, DLR.

I’ve only known him from 1) the wolf book and 2) remembering to not confuse the guy in Strangers on a Train with him (that was Farley Granger).
I am Y.
