This boisterous version of Red Riding Hood is transposed to a West African town, where Pretty Salma sets out to do some shopping for her beloved grandmother. Tricked by smooth-talking Mr Dog, she has to enlist the help of her grandfather and his Anansi story-telling masks to rescue her grandmother from the machinations of the rascally animal. The text is broken up with a visual narrative of several small pictures per page: together they compose a comic tour de force.
