Red Riding Hood

Crafted over a century ago and previously bereft of illustrations, Beatrix Potter’s slightly darker rendition of the classic tale, The Tale of Red Riding Hood, is brought to life through the enchanting illustrations of Helen Oxenbury.

In a village long ago, there lived a child of extraordinary beauty—a beauty unparalleled. The child's mother, a kind woman, fashioned a little hood from scarlet flannel. Adorning it wherever she went, the villagers lovingly named her 'Little Red Riding Hood.'

Narrated with Beatrix Potter’s distinctive straightforward style and witty observations, this unique interpretation of the well-loved tale is poised to capture hearts, much like her original stories. The award-winning illustrator Helen Oxenbury's artwork enhances the original text with moments of beauty, tension, and humor."
