Her words share this lack of obfuscatory prettiness, a deadpan, terse narrative voice complementing her sharp illustrative style.

ingeniously minimalist
The New York Times
A bold (both graphically and narratively) reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Little Red is truly subversive in that it subverts the concept of victimhood with a deliciously dark twist.

Its strong lines and bold colours are excitingly modern
New Statesman
A joy to read . . . An impressive debut picture book from an exciting new talent.
BookTrust
A unique interpretation of the classic fairytale, shot through with dark humour and a stunning, bold graphic style. This brave girl not only defeats her foe, she wears the wolfskin home too.
The Bookseller
This is my book of the year so far . . . Woollvin is a striking new talent with strong retro style illustrations and a simple, witty text.

A talent to watch

Bethan Woollvin's version [of Little Red Riding Hood] has a far darker ending - and I loved it. The talented illustrator and writer has taken a childhood niggle as her premise for this bold feminist version of the story: would our caped heroine really have been taken in by a wolf in a bad grandma disguise? . . . I won't spoil the ending but let's just say Little Red wraps it up nicely (and warmly) and it has my three year old son thrilled at every read, begging for more.
