Into the Forest

A shortcut through the forest to Grandma's house produces some eerie moments and some oddly familiar characters in a strikingly illustrated tale about facing fears. One night a boy is woken by a terrible sound. A storm is breaking, lightning flashing across the sky. In the morning Dad is gone and Mum doesnt seem to know when hell be back. The next day Mum asks her son to take a cake to his sick grandma. "Dont go into the forest," she warns. "Go the long way round." But, for the first time, the boy chooses to take the path into the forest, where he meets a variety of fairy tale characters.
