The posthumous arrival of Aiken's final Wolves novel is a welcome farewell from this grande dame of children's literature, and it begins in a happily familiar gothic vein, with a dark night, mysterious voices, a foundling--and a witch who lives in a Ladies' Convenience in Scotland. This brief novel is a testament to Aiken's unflagging humor and creative powers.
