Professor Donald Smith provides a detailed examination of how a well-bred English boy named Archie Belaney, who grew up in the seaside town of Hastings under the strict guidance of his two maiden aunts, was transformed into the passionate conservationist known as Grey Owl.
Based on extensive research and interviews with many of those who knew Grey Owl, From the Land of the Shadows paints a vivid portrait of Grey Owl the man and provides an incisive analysis of his life. This book is a must for anyone interested in the full story of this amazing and complex man. In 1998, Sir Richard Attenborough based his movie about Grey Owl on this book. |
