Red Riding Hood

"Once upon a time there was a village child who was so pretty - so pretty as never was seen . . ."

So begins Beatrix Potter's retelling of Red Riding Hood. Filled with the delicious darkness of the original classic fairy tale - and some trademark Potter wit and flourishes - this book is brilliantly brought to life with artwork by one of the world's greatest illustrators, Helen Oxenbury.

Reviews

Whimsical yet unnerving... Patterson and Grabenstein... explore the secret lives of cats, caputring their mercurial natures and capricious behaviour even as they cast the feline mystique in a new light

—— Publishers Weekly

A-mew-sing fare for readers who sometimes feel like fraidycats themselves

—— Kirkus

Tremendous . . . Such a blend of adventure, thoughtfulness, magic, intelligence and deep feeling is very special and rare

—— Amanda Craig

A magical story . . . Pony is pure delight

—— Rebecca Stead, author of Liar and Spy

R J Palacio, author of a modern classic children's book of our era, has somehow crafted what feels like an entirely different breed of classic: page-turning and heart expanding, elegiac and adventurous . . . timeless and utterly necessary to our current moment

—— Gayle Forman, author of If I Stay

A brilliant adventure and a heartfelt story about love and loss. Young readers will be entranced . . . A book that feels like a classic after just a few pages
