Look insideThe Last Wolf
In the wild Scottish Highlands, Robbie McLeod is on the run from vicious English soldiers. As he flees, he finds another fugitive: a tiny wolf cub – and a sign that proclaims the killing of the last wolf in Scotland. Robbie knows that if the orphaned cub is found, it’ll be killed – just as he will. So he adopts it, and takes it with him. But when at last Robbie finds a place where he can finally be free, he knows in his heart that the wolf must find his own natural home too…
