Signed! A. N. Wilson, 2007, Winnie and Wolf, First Edition, NF Copy!

The Winnie of the title is Winifred Williams, Richard Wagner’s Welsh daughter-in-law. Wolf is the Führer, Adolf Hitler, who shares a close relationship for Winnie and is a regular visitor to Wagners’ home and a genial uncle and friend of the Wagner children. The novel is narrated by Herr N., a Bayreuth local with an interest in philosophy and music who becomes Siegfried Wagner’s assistant. It emerges at the end of the novel that it is in fact a confessional letter to his adopted daughter, a resident of Seattle, who is the illegitimate child of the Hitler-Winifred relationship, although her parentage was not known to Herr N. until many years after the adoption.
