Translated by Georges Moroz.
Illustrated by
Martin Matje.
In the fourth book of the series, ink drinkers Odilon and his girlfriend Carmilla--vampire-like creatures who slurp the ink from books, experiencing the stories as they drink--are accidentally sucked into a fairy tale and become the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood characters. Sanvoisin's writing is simple, fast paced, and humorous, and Matje's quirky cartoon illustrations add to the drama.
