The wolf is carnivore incarnate and he’s as cunning as he is ferocious; once he’s had a taste of flesh then nothing else will do. It is winter and cold weather.  It is the worst time in all the year for wolves but this strong-minded child insists she will go off through the wood. She is quite sure the wild beasts cannot harm her... 

A dark and disturbing story from Angela Carter’s celebrated collection of fairytales, The Bloody Chamber, illustrated for a YA and adult audience.
