OLDER FICTION
(3) YA In pastoral late-sixteenth-century France, a shepherd boy tending his flock sees a wolf and calls for his mother. But expectations are overturned as, far from attempting to drive off the wolf, the mother changes into one herself. Jennings contrasts the wolves' civilized society with the barbarism of the Inquisition (the shepherd family is a particular target of an evil village priest) to craft an original and unusual werewolf story.
