A fabulously funny fairytale romp with an utterly fearless, totally beguiling, very determined and very little heroine.
Teresa Heapy (Author)
Teresa swapped the office desk for the kitchen table in 2009,
having worked as a Commissioning Editor for Oxford University Press
for several years and deciding that what she really wanted to do
was write books. Since then, she has written about gorillas,
Batman, the ugly duckling and green goo (not all in the same book)
for Raintree, Pearson, OUP and HarperCollins. In her spare time,
she does comedy improvisation and plays the ukulele. She lives in
Oxford, England, with her husband and three children.

*The School Librarian*
This quirky take on the original is fabulous – and sure to become a
bedtime delight.
*The Sun*
Delightful…switches on a nightlight to bleach out the darkness of
the Grimms’ version. Heapy allows the little girl to speak like a
real child and Heap gives her the sort of coat with animal ears
that wouldn’t look out of place in the local park…A perfect present
for a Gramma to give her VLRRH.
*The Times*
A delightful twist in the tale… warm illustrations… a delight to
share.
*The Bookseller - Bookseller's Choice*
Very funny…a feisty little heroine
