Ladybird has published fairy tales for over 40 years, bringing the magic of traditional stories to each new generation of children.

These are based on the original Ladybird retellings with beautiful new pictures of the kind children like best - full of richness and detail.

Children have always loved and will always remember these classic stories and sharing them together is an experience to treasure.

In this volume, Vera Southgate re-tells the story of a young girl and a sly wolf, the two best known versions of which were originally written by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm. The story dates back to the pre-17th century period.
