I drew this picture the other week, and I've been sketching wolves and werewolves for a while, so when I saw that Enchanted Conversation was looking for stories about animals, I suppose it's not too strange that the idea I had was based on Little Red Riding Hood.
If you're interested, you can read my story here.
For the story, I used elements from Irish history which I'd read about in Kieran Hickey's Wolves in Ireland. There's a quote in his book that really struck me. It's from 1691, when someone called Laurence Echard was writing about the 'natural Wild Irish':
They pray for the wolves, and wish them well, and then they are not afraid to be hurt by them.
