Wolfy is not your typical ‘big bad wolf’. A poetry-loving vegematarian, all Wolfy wants is a friend. But in Alarmsville, where Wolfy lives, the presence of a wolf signals danger, and the onus is on Alarmsville’s citizens to sound a warning whenever a wolf comes near.

At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.
