Reviews

A smart young heroine, playful storytelling full of wit and detail, and rich, layered pictures in his unique style
Chris Riddell’s Once Upon a Wild Wood is an elegant subversion of the fairytale canon [...] Riddell’s layered landscapes, full of sly detail, invite exploration.
Riddell’s drawings lend old-fashioned enchantment to this thoroughly modern tale
The details are joyous and the text is wryly witty. Supreme draughtsmanship and the chance for children to feel knowing make this book a winner.
