Sasha and the Wolfcub
A rediscovered classic with gorgeous new illustrations. Out in the wilds of Russia a boy and a wolf are lost in the snow.
"You're not very big for a wolf," said Sasha.
"And you're not very big for a man," snapped the wolf.
Sasha has always been taught that wolves are dangerous, but when he finds himself lost out in the snow with Ferdy, a wolfcub, he discovers they are not so different. But how can he persuade his village that the wolves can be their friends?
