This is a beautifully illustrated re-imagining of the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood. This time the story is set in Dublin where the city itself is just as much a character in the story as its fearless heroine, Fiona. Full of charm and imagination Fiona overcomes her fears to reach her granny’s house, on her whistle-stop tour around major Dublin landmarks. Charming illustrations and engaging story-line allow the voice of the child to emerge in both the text and illustration as she negotiates the world around her. A wonderful book which like its hero Fiona, is both bold and fearless. Great for read aloud or read alone!
