About
the Book
So you think you know the story of Little
Red Riding Hood, the girl with the unfortunate
name and the inability to
tell the difference between her grandmother and a member of a
different
species? Well, then, try your hand at answering these questions: Which
character (not including Little Red herself) is the most fashion
challenged? Who (not
including the wolf) is the scariest? Who (not
including Granny) is the most easily scared?
Who is the strangest (notice
we’re not "not including" anyone, because they’re all a
little
off.)? Who (no fair saying "the author") has stuffing for
brains? Master storyteller Vivian
Vande Velde crafts eight new stories
involving one of the world's most beloved (and
mixed-up) characters in
literature. You may never look at fairy tales in quite the same
way again.
Vivian Vande Velde started writing to avoid housework and has authored
more than twenty books. She and her husband Jim, the parents of one grown
daughter, live in Rochester, New York.
