I read this April 2016 because I bought it for the Mackintosh designed binding and it was a Blackies book.
It's a children's book written around 1910- 1930 ish. It's abot a wolf cub whose mother is killed by wolf hunters and siblings taken away. The cub befriends other forest animals and is taken under the wing of a lone wolf who turns out to be the leader of all the wolves. It is brutal, unsentimental, tells it like it is sort of book. I don't know if these books would ever pass muster as children's books these days, but I remember reading these no punches pulled non PC books when I was a child and enjoying them.
A good bedtime read
