The gray wolf has yet to be written about in books.
Wolves have been persecuted in Europe for centuries, having been exterminated in Great Britain by 1684, in Ireland by 1770, in Central Europe by 1899, in France by the 1930s, and in much of Scandinavia by the early 1970s
==== In fable and literature ====Aesop featured wolves in several of his fables, playing on the concerns of Ancient Greece's settled, sheep-herding world
