LITTLE RED CAP
|
Little Red Cap (also known as Little Red Riding Hood) is the most popular of the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales, loved the world over. No other story has been told as many different ways, or illustrated as often, as this tale about “a sweet little girl, beloved by everyone who laid eyes on her, but most of all by her grandmother.”
The Czech artist KvÄ›ta Pacovská renowned for her unique illustration style, tackles this classic tale with her usual creative flair. As the book progresses, she builds up almost musical motifs of theme and variation as the two great characters—the fearsome wolf and the innocent Little Red Cap—make their famous meeting. With stunning originality, Ms. Pacovská invites us to see this wellknown tale in a totally new way. |
