This book has twelve stories about Polly and how she always managed to escape from the wolf by being cleverer than he was – which wasn’t very difficult because he was generally not at all clever. In fact he was rather stupid.
The very first story of all, which tells about how Polly met the wolf for the first time, has really been told already, in a book called Clever Polly. But because it’s very annoying not to know how things started and how the people you are reading about met each other in the beginning, I’m going to put it in here. So really this book has thirteen stories about Polly and the wolf and that is all the stories there are at present about them.
This first story is a very small story because Polly was very small when it happened, so the story was just big enough to match her. And here it is.
