Little Red Hood

Marjolaine Leray Press Reviews

'Leray's startling, pared-down scenes show what drama can be achieved with one red crayon, a little black ink and immense French style. Well done Phoenix Yard for introducing a British audience to this. It's totally brilliant.'

- Amanda Craig, The Times

'Someone is always going to come out badly in any version of the classic story of how a little girl in a red hood fares against a big bad wolf. This time, the action never reaches the grandmother so the tension - vividly illustrated in sketchy line drawings - is between the wolf and the fierce but insouciant little girl. The familiar phrases of big ears and big teeth are bandied between the two before the dramatic final showdown. An elegant and sophisticated tease of a book.' - Julia Eccleshare, The Guardian
