About
the Book
Gennady Spirin, in his adaptation of the Brother
Grimms’ earliest version of "Little Red Cap", tells the story of
a young girl in a red hood who takes a cake to her sick grandmother. Along the
way, she meets a wicked wolf who tricks her into thinking he’s her granny.
Sumptuous illustrations, inspired by the golden age of Dutch painting in the
17
th century and
Renaissance, capture the charm and spirit of a tale that has remained steadfast
in oral and written versions throughout the centuries. An Author’s note
about the tale’s history is
included.
Gennady
Spirin
