A darkly comic retelling of the classic fairytale, Little Red Riding Hood.

About the Author

Bethan Woollvin won The Macmillan Prize for Illustration in 2014 for her classy, bold interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red. It was a startlingly confident debut which caught the imagination of everyone who saw it. The eldest in a family of ten children, Bethan understands what appeals to a variety of age groups, and all her work exudes a natural dry wit and charm. She graduated from Anglia Ruskin University with a First Class Degree in Illustration in 2015 and now lives in Brighton.

Reviews

Bethan Woollvin's version [of Little Red Riding Hood] has a far darker ending - and I loved it. The talented illustrator and writer has taken a childhood niggle as her premise for this bold feminist version of the story: would our caped heroine really have been taken in by a wolf in a bad grandma disguise? . . . 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.
*The Times*

A talent to watch
*Daily Mail*

This is my book of the year so far . . . Woollvin is a striking new talent with strong retro style illustrations and a simple, witty text.
*Angels & Urchins*

A unique interpretation of the classic fairytale, shot through with dark humour and a stunning, bold graphic style. This brave girl not only defeats her foe, she wears the wolfskin home too.
*The Bookseller*

A joy to read . . . An impressive debut picture book from an exciting new talent.
*BookTrust*

Its strong lines and bold colours are excitingly modern
*New Statesman*

A bold (both graphically and narratively) reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Little Red is truly subversive in that it subverts the concept of victimhood with a deliciously dark twist.
*Huffington Post*

ingeniously minimalist
*The New York Times*

Her words share this lack of obfuscatory prettiness, a deadpan, terse narrative voice complementing her sharp illustrative style.
*Guardian*
