Little Red

Her words share this lack of obfuscatory prettiness, a deadpan, terse narrative voice complementing her sharp illustrative style. * Guardian * ingeniously minimalist * The New York Times * 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 * Its strong lines and bold colours are excitingly modern * New Statesman * A joy to read . . . An impressive debut picture book from an exciting new talent. * BookTrust * 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 * 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 talent to watch * Daily Mail * Bethan Woollvin's version [of Little Red Riding Hood] has a far darker ending - and I loved it.

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 *
