Sure, the story is fairytale-like and presented in a \njaunty, casually nonsensical way, but it is absolutely the stuff of \nnightmares. Lucy hears wolves hustling, bustling, crinkling and crackling in \nthe walls of the old house where her family lives, but no one believes her. \nHer mother says it's mice, her brother says bats, and her father says what \neveryone seems to say: \"If the wolves come out of the walls, it's all over.\" \nLucy remains convinced, as is her beloved pig-puppet, and her worst fears \nare confirmed when the wolves actually do come out of the walls.\"\n\nI don't have the book to hand, but I distinctly remember reference made in \nBotNS to rumours of wolves (white, I think) haunting the wall spaces of the \nCitadel. I'd be interested to see if Gaiman acknowledges this debt to his \nerstwhile collaborator in the story itself."
