Answer:
In the story, a painter who specializes in pastoral landscapes with grazing cows is asked by a neighbor to drive a stray ox out of her garden. Unfortunately, his reluctant attempts only result in causing the ox to move from the garden into her house.
Woah. I love Fantasy so it will be fun answering your question. ^^
Now I'm guessing that the place and time might be taken in the past like maybe a long time ago where there weren't planes or trains? Since that's when a lot of folk stories and fantasy things are placed.
Just in case I'll leave some options in all time periods so you have a variety:
Ireland is a good one. In all time periods. Since there is water surrounding all sides of it there is room for mermaids. There are also cliffs there Also have you heard of the drombeg circle? Thats something popular loacted there.
I looked up some forests for your wolves Tongass National Forest, Alaska. Its an older forest..
Yakushima Forest, Japan is another one
Africa leaves a lot of options for different animal mixes since it has the most animals located there.
Hope this helps! (i spent too much time on this im sorry) :P
