Sarah Moon (1941- ) is a photographer who sets many of her photographs within the frame of a fairy story. In 1983 she published her photo-illustrated version of Charles Perrault's Little Red Riding Hood. Sarah Moon's photographs place Little Red in an urban setting, cobbled streets flanked with terraced houses. These photographs with her daughter as 'Little Red' are very like stills from the early days of cinematography, with all of the heightened drama of the silent film.
