Pretty Salma

By Niki Daly

A fresh retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.

This up-to-the-minute Red Riding Hood story is set in a South African township with market traders, a crazy-eyed rooster, Anansi the storyteller and a no-good, slick, sly stranger calling himself Mr Dog. The comedy, thrills and shivers of the familiar story lead to a reassuring ending, and Niki Daly's tongue-in-cheek storytelling and hilarious pictures are flavoured with fun!

  • Vivid, South African township setting.
  • The combination of classic tale with a South African setting makes this a great teaching resource!
