A gender-flipped forest folktale for little rebels with big hearts, from the creator of New York Times Best Illustrated Book, Little Red. In the heart of the woods by the oldest oak tree, you might find a fierce little girl. Her name is Robin Hood, and she is about to go on a rollicking adventure full of mischief and mayhem. Full of bold, colourful illustrations, this funny and fierce adventure story, about standing up for what's right is from the award-winning creator of Little Red, Rapunzel and Luna and the Sky Dragon, Bethan Woollvin.
Bethan Woollvin won the Macmillan Prize for Illustration in 2014 for Little Red - her classy, bold interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood. It was a startlingly confident debut which she followed with an equally striking and feminist take on Rapunzel, with not a handsome prince in sight. The eldest in a family of ten children, Bethan understands well what appeals to a variety of age groups, and all her work exudes a natural dry wit and charm. She graduated from Anglia Ruskin University with a First Class Degree in Illustration in 2015 and now lives in Sheffield.
