It happens that he also devised a wonderfully dramatic story. The characters - boy, bird, duck, cat, grandfather, wolf, hunters - and their doings have been beloved by young and old for decades. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Writer, artist, musician, and Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka has given the original story a new setting: a stage performance.
