CLEVER POLLY AND THE STUPID WOLF by Catherine Storr

has twelve stories written for the author's daughter, who was scared of the wolf under the bed! Drawing occasionally on well-known fairy tales, and skillfully blending fantasy and reality, these stories are bursting with humour, originality and charm. And Polly, not scared at all, outwits the wolf on each and every occasion!

There is a sequel called POLLY AND THE WOLF AGAIN, also published in the A Puffin Book series of children’s modern classics.
