Informationen zum Autor William McCleery (1911–2000) was born in Nebraska and spent his early career as a newspaper reporter and magazine editor. In the 1940s two of his plays were produced on Broadway, and he later wrote some dozen one-hour dramas for television. From the 1960s until his death he was affiliated with Princeton University, where he taught playwriting, founded the magazine University: A Princeton Quarterly, and edited several volumes of university history. McCleery was a trustee of the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire from 1948 to 1970, and it was there that he wrote Wolf Story for his son Michael.   Warren Chappell (1904–1991) was a graphic artist, book illustrator, and typographer. He illustrated many books for children and adults, including three in collaboration with John Updike; created two highly regarded typefaces, Lydian and Trajanus; and wrote several books on typography, among them A Short History of the Printed World . Klappentext This irresistible book is about: a father; his five-year-old son! Michael (intelligent! crafty! addicted to stories); Michael's best friend Stefan (stalwart listener! equally addicted to stories); and! well-what else?-a story. Oh! and a wolf. It is as Michael always demands: a Wolf Story! which begins one night at bedtime and spins wildly on through subsequent bedtimes and Sunday outings to the beach and park in a succession of ever more trickily tantalizing episodes. Waldo the wolf is sneaking up on Rainbow the hen! when Jimmy Tractorwheel! the son of the local farmer! comes along. After that! there's no knowing what will happen next! as while stalled in traffic jams or nodding off at night! the boys chime in and the story races on and Waldo finds! if not necessarily dinner! his just desserts. First published in 1947 and wonderfully illustrated by Warren Chappell! William McCleery's Wolf Story is a delicious treat for fathers and sons and daughters and mothers alike. ...
