ONCE UPON A WOLF is a comedy written by Steph DeFerie.

This fast and furious collection of fractured fairy tales with a modern twist tells what happens when the Big Bad Wolf decides he doesn't want to be big or bad anymore! Old Granny Stinkyfeet wants to tell stories to the kids, but she's having trouble with the Wolf. He won't eat her like he's supposed to! He wants to be the good guy for a change, so he's off on a mission to become a hero - no matter how many people tell him it's impossible.
