Wolves did not hope. They accepted life as it came and learned to flow with the path of their padding paws. One could not change the past nor predict the future, so to worry or mourn with regret the way things happened was foreign to animals of the wild.

I have been pondering on what to review next, there are so many books that should be mentioned and then I realized that I should probably start where my addiction started many years ago. As a young girl, I already fancied fantasy stories above true stories or just fiction.  If you added something or someone magical I would love it.  So one day I was at the school library, looking for something to read, but with a little more to the bone than Mary Norton's  Borrowers .
