Farley Mowat was born 12 May 1921 in Belleville, Ontario and grew up in Windsor and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. As a teenager, he wrote a column for Saskatoon's The StarPhoenix and then joined the army. After his discharge in 1945, Mowat attended the University of Toronto, earning a degree in 1949. He has been a full-time writer ever since, although not without controversy over whether his books are fact or fiction.
