As modern day Northern Colorado grapples with the reintroduction of wolves to their forests, an intrepid old west Marshal and her brother, the Huntsman, must join forces with woodland creatures to track down a wolf and rescue the young daughter of a local rancher who went missing. Set long after Red Riding Hood graduated from Colorado State University, this whimsical and enchanting retelling of the classic bedtime story shows there is a greater danger than you might have imagined from those who would “cry wolf.”

For older readers, this book also contains the history of the myths that formed the modern story: beginning in ancient China, countless cultures around the world have used the story to impart timeless lessons. From the lore of good (Christianized) and bad Irish werewolves to the empowering story of a German girl who didn't need rescued, and even modern American role playing games and halloween costumes, discover how Red Riding Hood has become one of the world's favorite tales - and helped shape the legislation which returned wolves to Colorado.
