Little Red: The Exciting Story of a Boy, a Wolf, and a Keg of Fizzy Ginger Beer

by David Roberts (Illustrator), Lynn Roberts (Author)

Synopsis

Little Red is on his way to visit his grandmother on the other side of the wood when ignoring all warnings he strays from the path. Stealing the little boy's red coat, the greedy wolf hatches an evil plan and hurries to the cottage to gobble up shortsighted grandmother. Little Red is next on the menu but can a keg of delicious sparkling ginger beer save him from a gruesome end? From the fabulously quirky 'Ye Olde Belch' Inn to the scary spookiness of grandmother's cottage, this witty reworking of the classic tale is perfectly adapted to 18th century England and bursting with period detail. The exquisitely atmospheric illustrations wonderfully complement Lynn Robert's hilarious retelling. From the creative duo behind the hugely successful Cinderella and Rapunzel this is a stylish classic not to be missed.
