Publisher's Summary
More than half a century ago, the naturalist Farley Mowat accepted an assignment to investigate why wolves were killing Arctic caribou. Mowat’s account of the summer he lived in the frozen tundra alone – studying the wolf population and developing a deep affection for these wild creatures (who were no threat to caribou or man) – is today celebrated as a classic of nature writing, at once a tale of remarkable adventure and an indelible record of the myths and magic of wolves. Never Cry Wolf was made into a major motion picture by Walt Disney Productions.

"wonderful"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?loved MOWAT'S curiously deep connection to self, with other persons, other creatures and his envirionment that has, ultimatly, brought about a change in the way we (human beings) make sense of the natural world. a wonderfully inspiring, humbling and thought provoking a book.
What did you like best about this story?it's humanity
What does Adam Sims bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?Sims was Mowat, great stuff!!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?an extraordinary accout of one man's capacity for connection much much deeper than 'ordinary humanity'
Any additional comments?sublime

"A hilarious challenge to accepted ways of thinking"
What did you love best about Mowat: Never Cry Wolf?It challenges you to examine your beliefs and why you believe them. And while you're doing so, you're laughing your head off. Mowat's dry wit lends itself wonderfully to the uncomfortable realization that we believe things simply because we were told to, not necessarily because they are true.
What did you like best about this story?The story itself is beautiful, exciting and heart-touching, a tale that is far away and yet somehow still very close indeed.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?The moment in which Mowat decides to reject all his previous knowledge of wolves (which had at that point been proven wrong to him anyway) and view them with a clean slate was particularly touching. Ultimately, that is one of the most difficult (and rewarding) things for humans to do; reject what is "known" for what can be discovered
Any additional comments?I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good story and a good laugh and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a challenge to their thinking, a change in perspective and an appreciation of the fact that often the most "human" behaviour in nature doesn't come from humans at all.

"Bring us more Mowat"
What did you love best about Mowat: Never Cry Wolf?This author is absolutely hilarious; it is hard to believe that the events are true.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Mowat: Never Cry Wolf?When Mowat marked his territory and the wolves respected it. Also the dealings of Mowat with the beauracracy that he worked for are absolutely hilarious especially because they are so true.
Have you listened to any of Adam Sims???s other performances before? How does this one compare?I have not listened to other performances by Adams Sims so cannot compare this one to others.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?Wolves... Not what you think they are
