Gladys Hall. She's the artist for this book, but a quick search on the internet didn't say much about her. The style reminds me of the Campbell soup kids, but those were drawn by Grace Drayton. Oh, well. If I keep those two names in mind, maybe I'll come across something more about them.
This story has a little more to it than do the usual RRH stories. For example, "Rosie was a favorite because of her sweet disposition. Even her old grandmother, who was rather cross, and not as a rule fond of children, made quite a pet of Rosie. ... When Rosie's birthday came, her grandmother gave her a pretty red cloak with a hood of the same color. ..." The story ends with the arrival of the woodcutter, but he doesn't cut open the wolf so Grannie can pop out. I always thought it was odd that a wolf could eat a person without harming her, but that was okay because this was a fairy tale and I wanted a happy ending.
I've only read a few recent versions of this story, so maybe this is characteristic of the early tellings.
