Margaret Atwood:

"She was lucky in her parents, a foresting entomologist father, Carl, and tomboyish mother, Margaret, both from Nova Scotia. Carl’s work on insects meant that the family spent half the year in the bush, at times without electricity, running water or a telephone. They’d camp in tents or shacks by a lake while Carl cut down trees to build a wooden cabin. Young Margaret – Peggy to everyone – loved the outdoors; she learned to fish, canoe, beachcomb, pick berries, delight in birds, insects, mushrooms and frogs. At summer camp, in her teens, she was known as Peggy Nature."
