Little Red: A Rebel Fairytale

Product Information

Lovely book that is wonderfully illustrated and teaches a good moral re girls standing up for themselves. Bethan Woollvin graduated from the Cambridge School of Art with a First Class Degree in Illustration. Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first.

The wolf is hungry, and Red Riding Hood looks tasty, so he hatches a dastardly plan, gobbles up Grandma and lies in wait. I won't spoil the ending but let's just say Little Red wraps it up nicely (and warmly) and it has my three year old son thrilled at every read, begging for more. Thereafter, the bold black lined images, the hulking shapes and clever perspectives delight and entertain us.

A unique interpretation of the classic fairytale, shot through with dark humour and a stunning, bold graphic style. This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally).

Thereafter, she sees the ‘ badly disguised waiting in Grandma’s bed‘ when she peeps through the window. It was a startlingly confident debut which she followed with an equally striking and feminist take on Rapunzel , with not a handsome prince in sight. These heroines do not need to wait around for woodcutters and princes, but can makes themselves masters - mistresses, rather - of their own destiny. The wolf is hungry, and Red Riding Hood looks tasty, so he hatches a dastard ly plan, gobbles up Grandma and lies in wait. I haven't charted out my visits for the summer term, but I'm sure there are several in the south) and thanks so much for being so fantastic!

There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors. With a touch of humour and a pinch of subversion, I like to tell empowering stories inspired by history, folklore, and the world around me.
