Dear Owen,
I believe the book of which you are speaking is My Antonia, by Willa Cather.
Chapter 8 contains a scene similar to the one about which you wrote. You can read
it here:

As I have seen so many unknown books brought into the light, I thought
I would try this one.
There is a scene of a merry wedding party traveling home after becoming a
little too drunk. They are in a sleigh in winter drawn by horses. They are
chased by wolves and I believe all but the storyteller perish when the wolves
overtake them. I thought at first it might be Black Beauty and it was told from the
Beauty's perspective, but I don't think this is correct. Dickens? Wuthering Heights?
I am asking because I am currently reading a Joan Aiken (The Wolves of Willoughby
Chase) and it has the same feel. I wonder which author writes so similarly to Aiken
or
whom Aiken writes so similarly to.
Thanks in advance, I know one of you will know it,
