Lumi and the Wolf

Read the first sentence and I see the tracks of the story in the snow, wolf tracks, and I follow every word, every page, every footprint where the wolf takes me, where Lumi takes me. Here is storytelling at its best, the story utterly mesmerising and deeply touching.
Read it by the fire though, so your hands and feet don’t get cold. A cold hard journey it may be, but so worthwhile. Unforgettable. Bravo Lumi, bravo Lottie!
