Alberta does dreadful things, and she always gets her own way. So when she doesnt listen to her mothers good advice and enters the wild and dangerous woods, its no surprise that she tricks a kind stranger and eats their delicious cake. But this stranger is a wolf, wearing a red cape and hood, and she doesnt take kindly to being double-crossed... Will Alberta learn a lesson she will very much regret
Margaret Sturton is a Hampshire-based author and illustrator who studied a BA and MA in Fine Art Sculpture, and subsequently gained an MA in Childrens Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art. Margarets mixed ethnic heritage inspires her exploration of identity and belonging, and the idea for her debut picture book A Fox Called Herbert came to her on a train journey as the words I am a fox sprung into her mind.
