A fabulously funny fairy tale, full of warmth and wit, and delightful details to discover – this is Chris Riddell at his picture book best!
Little Green Raincape is on her way to Rapunzel's party, deep in the wild woods. The way is long and dark, but Green is a smart girl. Smart enough to turn down apples offered by kindly old ladies, smart enough to turn down travel advice from helpful wolves, and above all, smart enough to solve a wealth of classic fairy tale problems – not least mend a lovelorn beast's broken heart.
Once Upon a Wild Wood is a richly imagined story packed full of familiar fairy tale characters as you've never seen them before. Including Red Riding Hood, Thumbelina, Rapunzel, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, the three bears, the seven dwarfs and many more!
As a collector of children's illustrated books (who now shares them with her granddaughter), I found this book a delight in every way. A twist and jumble of traditional fairy tales with many quirky and unexpected characters popping up. I think this book would appeal to 4 -6 year olds, and of course parents and grannies too. Chris Riddell is a master at weaving humourous tales in with witty illustrations. These illustrations are like jewels peppering the story.
