The Wolf's Story
By Toby Forward
Illustrated by Izhar Cohen
The real story of Little Red Riding Hood -- told by the Wolf himself!
Recounted in the confidential, conversational voice of a New York wheeler-dealer, this funny version of the Grimm Brothers' Little Red Riding Hood is retold from a fresh perspective. Full of humourous revelations and surprises, we see the story unfolding from his point of view, and how a series of misunderstandings and accidents lead to his vilification.
- A clever, post-modern take on an established fairy tale classic.
