Some of my earliest favorites were by Farley Mowat. "Never Cry Wolf", "A Whale For the Killing" and "Owls in the Family" are among the most influencial books to me when I was young.
Many of his books inspired in me a love for the outdoors and wildlife that persists very strongly to this day.

Never Cry Wolf was probably my first "outdoor" book. I was both attracted and repelled by his description of eating mice to prove that the wolves could survive on just mice all winter long. Now I'm going to have to try and find a copy of that book.
