Mowat offers instead  an unforgettable portrait of the Albans, a race originating from the island now known  as Britain. Battered by repeated invasions from their aggressive neighbours—Celt,  Roman and Norse—the Albans boarded seaworthy, skin-covered boats and fled west.  Their search for safety, and for the massive walrus herds on which their survival  depended, took them first to Iceland, then to Greenland, and, finally, to the land  now known as Newfoundland and Labrador.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Skillfully weaving together clues gathered  from forty years of research, Mowat presents a fascinating account of a forgotten  history. \u003ci\u003eThe Farfarers\u003c\/i\u003e affirms Mowat's status as one of Canada's most powerful chroniclers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eFARLEY MOWAT was born in Belleville, Ontario, in 1921.
