Reviews

A smart young heroine, playful storytelling full of wit and detail, and rich, layered pictures in his unique style
*The Bookseller*

Chris Riddell’s Once Upon a Wild Wood is an elegant subversion of the fairytale canon [...] Riddell’s layered landscapes, full of sly detail, invite exploration.
*Guardian*

Riddell’s drawings lend old-fashioned enchantment to this thoroughly modern tale
*Daily Telegraph*

The details are joyous and the text is wryly witty. Supreme draughtsmanship and the chance for children to feel knowing make this book a winner.
*Sunday Times*

There’s extraordinary detail in the illustrations and, while children will enjoy spotting the familiar faces, the way in which Riddell subverts the original stories introduces a fresh take on age-old adventures, heroes and villains.
