When the townspeople of Gubbio feel terrorized by a lone wolf who steals through the streets seeking livestock for his dinner, they turn to Francis of Assisi for help. Painted on wood panels and outlined in a thick, soft black line, the attractive illustrations give the book the feel of a decorated medieval manuscript, which is enhanced by the calligraphic font used for the text.
