Pyotra and the Wolf by Elna Holst

4.0

Pyotra and the Wolf was a fascinating story. Elna Holst stated that "Peter and the Wolf" was the inspiration for the novel. I found a bit of that but mostly I found a Russian werewolf story. The story was original and unpredictable. The main characters, the titular named Pyotra and the Wolf, were complex. The atmosphere, contrasting from the tundra to a small Russian town, was well written. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.
