Charity's Modern Take On A Classic Fairy Tale.

Many of us will be familiar with the story of Little Red Riding Hood but did you know that there is a new modern twist to the fairy tale?

UK sight loss charity RNIB has launched Red and The Wolf, just in time for Christmas.

The beautifully illustrated book has an accompanying audio cd of sound effects to help little ones learn to read and to make reading with them fun and engaging.

The book also helps break down stereotypes, well did you know that this Red might have sight loss but she's a martial arts expert?

Even Gran loves a bit of mountain biking!

RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Tilia Rand Bell, illustrator of Red and The Wolf, to find out what it's like creating images for the re-telling of the classic story and who was her favourite character to draw?
