Red Riding Hood retold by Beatrix Potter illustrated by Helen Oxenbury*

I love illustrations by Helen Oxenbury.  Beatrix Potter's stories bring me delight.  When I first discovered this book which combined the two,  I was thrilled!
Typical of Beatrix Potter, the story includes description of nature.  I liked the addition of the woodcutter's song in the beginning of the story. 
The illustrations are a feast for the eyes.  Ms. Oxenbury does not disappoint!
Warning: The ending is dark.  But, Ms. Oxenbury offers hope in her illustration for those sensitive readers.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
