A "weaselly weasel" steals the harvest that he's supposed to share with a small crow. To frighten the weasel, the crow enlists a wolf's help but ultimately doesn't need it. Set in Tuscany, peppered with Italian words (glossary provided), and illustrated with a notably sure hand, this trickster story features clever twists and turns as the crow schemes to get some of her own back.
