Beatrix Potter's retelling of Red Riding Hood is 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.
Beatrix Potter was a visionary and a trailblazer and didn’t flinch from retelling a more sinister version of the story, featuring a truly dastardly and villainous wolf and the original dark ending.
