The Tunnel
Author: Anthony Browne
Illustrator: Anthony Browne
Publisher: Walker
A tale which begins with sibling animosity. A sister rescues her brother, who has been turned to stone, by the warmth of her love. A link with fairy tales comes through the language, from the opening ‘Once upon a time...’, and is made even more explicit in the illustrations - from the gingerbread house and Red Riding Hood’s cloak in the sister’s room, to the images secreted in the trees as she races through the forest.
