An extraordinary portrait of the lives of wolves, the researchers who study them, and the rustic highlanders who share their landscape in the mysterious wilds of Transylvania.

Here we take an enchanting journey, tracking wolves through the deep snows and dark forests of Romania, where "Old Europe" still hangs on, hardly touched by modern trends or discovered by western travelers. Guided with humor, insight, and vivid description, we make a memorable trek, fending off belligerent shepherd dogs and foul weather to discover not only wolf behavior and ecology but also human history, legend, and myth: Ancient "wolf-warriors" (Dacians),colorful Romani (Gypsies),legendary vampires (Dracula),and more. And as we contemplate the benefits of wilderness, the joys of self-discovery, and the nature of time and consciousness, we are entertained with 32 pages of informative and beautiful color photos.

This revised & updated edition includes a two-page preface updating the status of wolves and other large carnivores in Romania.
