Ükskord seisab Polly kodu ukse ees suur hunt, kes ütleb, et tuli teda ära sööma.Kuid Polly ei karda hunti. Ta mõtleb alati midagi välja, millega hunt üle kavaldada.Siin raamatus ongi lood Pollyst ja sellest, kuidas tal õnnestub alati hundi eest põgeneda.See ei ole väga raske, sest üldiselt pole hunt just väga tark.Oigupoolest oli ta üsna rumal.*Kui raamatu autori Catherine Storri (1913-2001) tütar oli väike, kartis ta enne magama jäämist, et ta voodi all on kuri hunt. Seepärast rääkis ema talle igal õhtul ühe loo, milles Polly hundi üle kavaldas. Esimene raamat Pollyst ja hundist ilmus 1955. aastal ja muutus kohe väga populaarseks. Edaspidi ilmus veel kolm raamatut, millest saigi lõpuks juttude kogumik, mis on läbi aastate lapsi rahustanud ja lõbustanud.

When Catherine Storr's daughter was very small, she was afraid of the wolf under her bed, so every night her mother would tell her a story in which Polly outwitted the wolf. These bedtime stories eventually became the collection Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf, a wonderfully thrilling and reassuring series of adventures in which the clever, independent, and unstoppable Polly fools the persistent, hungry young wolf time and again. In a match much like Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner but more polite and quick-witted, Polly and the wolf develop ever-more complicated ways of turning the tables on each other as they grow older and, in Polly's case at least, wiser. Three more collections of stories followed the original Clever Polly, all hilariously inventive variations on a much loved theme, and all of the stories are collected here for the first time.
