This is a new translation by Alfred Alexander of the Sicilian story first published in 1880. Like most of Verua's stories it is based on fact. Its central character. Mother Pina , was known as La Lupa-the she-wolf. Verga's play La Lupa (1896) was first performed In England in June in the World Theatre Season at the Aldwych Theatre, London.
