Little Red-Cap von Brothers Grimm
I really liked this book too. It’s also a book that is passed on through generations and no matter how they tell the story it just makes sense. It does have a few interesting moments that some other books might not have but still a pretty good book, This book is good to share with any age honestly.
I'm a fan of Lisbeth Zwerger and her beautiful illustrations. Partly, I think, because they hark back to those of Arthur Rackham and possibly also Edmund Dulac...and I grew up on these stories ...fascinated by the pictures. Maybe it is underselling the contribution s by Lisbeth Zwerger because her own work is original and she has a lovely sense of dramatic perspective that the older artists never used. And some of her work (Such as Alice in Wonderland is totally unique.....then again, I don't like this so much).
Suffice to say, for me, the story here of Little Red Cap is totally subsidiary to the illustrations. It's not exactly the classic "Little Red Riding Hood" ....but very close to it. Reading the story again, I can't help but be surprised that the woodsman can blithely take a pair of scissors and cut the wolf open without the wolf walking up......but, that's a fairy story! And I'm now at the stage with so many books that I find that I have two copies of this book: this one a paperback which I shall donate to charity and the other a hardback, which I shall keep.
But a lovely little book. Warrants five stars.… (mehr)

The book is beautifully illustrated and the original story was somewhat different than the classic watered down american version. This one was more interest but somewhat strange for young children.
