Product Description

Award-winning author Ying Compestine reimagines the classic fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood" from a Chinese perspective

By now, you have probably heard the old folk tale about a girl in a red cape.
The truth is that the story took place here in China, there wasnt a woodsman, and I, the gentle wolf, certainly was not the one who ate them.
Here is the real story.

This is not the story you think you know. In this version of the classic fairy tale, Little Red lives in a village near the Great Wall and trains in kung fu. When she ventures to her grandmothers to deliver rice cakes and herbal medicine, she encounters something much more fearsome than a wolfa mighty dragon. With her wits and a sword in hand, Little Red must valiantly defend herself and her grandmother in this vibrant retelling from Ying Chang Compestine and Joy Ang.

An authors note discusses how this reimagining is influenced by Chinese mythology, symbolism, traditional medicine, and other elements of Compestines heritage.


Review

"The colorful characters, including Dragon, are adorably expressive. . . A fun addition to the fractured fairy-tale bookshelf." Kirkus Reviews

"Chang Compestine empowers with a retelling that casts the red-hooded heroine as a kung fu performer." Publishers Weekly
