About this title

Synopsis

Each year the eerie late-summer Public Wolf Howl attracts thousands of visitors to Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park, "the wolf capital of eastern North America." Naturalist Michael Runtz has observed wolf behaviour in the park over the past 25 years. The Howls of August is an informative, personal, and highly entertaining account of one man's encounters with wolves in their natural habitat.
