Synopsis

How many times have I told you never to leave the gate open? Grandfather asks Peter. What would you do if one day a wolf came out of the forest? But hardly has he spoken these words, when a lean and hungry wolf comes slinking from the cover of the trees...Selina Hastings has taken this oft-told traditional story, perhaps most famous for being set to a dramatic score by Prokofiev, and breathed new life into it. Accompanied by Reg Cartwright's striking illustrations of the cold, forested landscape, this is a truly captivating version.

Media Reviews
True to the mood and the atmosphere of the original folk-tale. Selina Hastings' dignified re-telling is matched perfectly by Reg Cartwright's marvellous vignettes... He's never been better. Books for Keeps; Reg Cartwright's pictures, beautifully stylized, splendidly designed and full of quiet fun, are an unfailing delight... an outstanding book. The Junior Bookshelf
