The ‘Company of wolfs’ portrays the main character more to the time but explores the timeless message of don’t %udge a boo" by it’s cover as well as relationships. The huntsman a.".a the werewolf at first glance fro!e her with his beauty & she’d never seen such a fine fellow before not among the rustic clowns of her native village.'
