""The Wolf of Gubbio"" is a three-act play written by Josephine Preston Peabody. The story is set in the medieval town of Gubbio, Italy, and revolves around the legend of a ferocious wolf that terrorizes the town's inhabitants. The play follows the efforts of a young friar named Francis to tame the wolf and bring peace to the town. Along the way, Francis must confront the skepticism and fear of the townspeople, as well as his own doubts about his ability to complete his mission. The play is a lighthearted comedy that explores themes of faith, courage, and the power of love and compassion. It was first performed in 1913 and has since become a beloved classic of American theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
