Sticking with David and Lynn's brilliant fairy tale reworkings, we also took another look at 'Sleeping Beauty: A Mid Century Fairy Tale'. 'Little Red: A Favourite Tale with a Twist' is out now, published by Pavilion. Taking its cues from 18th century fashion and surroundings it's a gorgeous book with a dark edge to it (darker than the seam of Grandma's dress in fact!)

Lynn's stylish retelling is coupled perfectly with David's uber-detailed illustrations (again Charlotte just couldn't get enough of the warped trees with their dark screaming faces, and the knots in the woodwork in Grandma's house with the same little faces on them). Though no wolves were harmed in the making of this book - though there are plenty of loud ginger-beer-induced belches. The wolf, however, is extremely cunning - and seizing the opportunity for a double-whammy Red / Grandma snack, the wolf poses as Red by stealing his coat, in order to worm his way into Grandma's house. When Red pays his weekly visit to his Grandmother's house to take her some provisions, he's warned to keep an eye out for the nefarious wolf that dwells in the forest.

He lives with his parents who own a rather lovely cafe, and are famous for their food and their tingly ginger beer. There's usually a twist or two as well, and in the case of Little Red, Red is a boy.

But here it is.Īs always it's interesting to revisit books we reviewed when Charlotte was very little to see how much 'grown up' Charlotte likes them now.ĭavid Roberts' 'Fantastic Fairy Tales' are wonderful treatments that don't just take a traditional story and polish it up a bit, David tends to pay great attention to a particular era's fashions, fitments and architecture in order to make these stories truly pop. Wow, we had to dig back into the archives to find our original review of 'Little Red' by David Roberts and Lynn Roberts-Maloney.
