Farley Mowat’s non-fiction output was substantial, covering Arctic life, wildlife, Canadian history, and environmental causes across several decades. His books about the Arctic and its people, including the Top of the World series, brought international attention to life in Canada’s far north.
His nature writing extended beyond the Arctic to cover wolves, whales, dogs, and the Canadian landscape more broadly. Mowat’s non-fiction combined personal narrative with passionate advocacy, making him one of Canada’s most important environmental voices of the 20th century.
