Once upon a time, on the edge of a big dark forest there lived a
little girl called Goldilocks. You have probably heard of her? If
so, you will know three things: she was small, she had lots of
golden curls and she had far too much curiosity for her own good.
So when Goldilocks discovers an intriguing wooden cottage deep in
the forest, she just can't resist peeking inside. Now why would
there be one, two, three of everything . . .? Lauren Child brings
her trademark innovative approach to this wonderfully warm and
witty retelling of the classic cautionary tale, and adds her own
clever twist. Following the success of The Princess and the Pea,
she once again joins forces with award-winning portrait
photographer Polly Borland, whose stunning photography brings this
truly original picture book startlingly to life. They are joined by
a talented theatre designer, Emily Jenkins, who has designed and
created an enchanting hand-crafted miniature world. The sets for
the book took over a year to make. The doll-sized cottage, complete
with winding staircase, stands about a metre tall. Real turf was
grown for the roof. Special wallpaper and fabrics were designed and
printed, featuring woodland motifs. Exquisite miniature furniture,
including the three bears' beds, chairs and porridge bowls, were
carved, crafted and painted by Emily and her team of designers.
Tiny slippers were sewn, cushions stuffed and bed linen edged and
folded. The tiny spoons were carved specially - even the porridge
is real!The cast of characters were made by world-famous doll
maker, R. John Wright, whose dolls and bears sell to collectors all
over the world. Goldilocks is 30 centimetres tall and made of soft
felt with hand-painted features; her golden locks are made of the
softest mohair. She arrived from America complete with a tiny
hand-woven basket of felt daisies, which you can see her carrying
in the book. Mother, Father and Baby Bear are all made from the
softest fur and have tiny resin claws. Father Bear arrived with a
hand-carved wooden pipe, which, if you look very closely, you can
spot in the pictures, warming by the fire.
