This classic story comes alive in this delightful new adaptation by Bertram & Boo. Combining the original spirit of Charles Perrault's first definitive telling of the tale together with state-of-the-art illustrations, the result is a textured adaptation that resonates with both timeless teachings and fresh energy.
In 1697, Perrault published his slim volume of stories that took from ancient parables and made them real and relevant to parents and children of late 17th Century Europe. He could not have known that it would be the final year of his life, and, though he was a member of the elite Académie Française and a leading intellectual of his time, his "Tales of Mother Goose" would be his most lasting legacy and a beloved bedtime tradition for centuries to come.
Now, Bertram & Boo offers this digital adaptation of one of Perrault's masterpieces, Le petit chaperon rouge, or "Little Red Riding Hood." Little Red Riding Hood's frightening adventure with the wicked wolf teaches a cautionary lesson about always listening to parents and never talking to strangers. But, as it has for generations of young children, the happy ending always conjures pleasant dreams.
