Two Against the North Original Title: ''Lost in the Barrens''

No single book could represent such a singular, widely curious figure as Farley Mowat, but Two Against the North (Lost in the Barrens), the classic adventure tale that has introduced his work to generations of Canadians, is an excellent place to start. Set in the icy North that has been Mowat's continuing source of inspiration, Two Against the North (Lost in the Barrens) is a thrilling example of the gift for storytelling that makes almost any story Mowat wants to tell worth a listen.
