The Gruffalo Books The Gruffalo Books

The Gruffalo is set in a forest. Scheffler was inspired by the forests in Hamburg when drawing rough initial sketches for the book. [38] The setting contains a footpath, stream, lake, mushrooms and other wildlife. [42] He depicts the "deep dark wood" with deep green and brown tones and dark outlines. [38] The darkness of the hues add to the feeling of suspense when reading the story. [43] Burke writes that the trees and tree roots are "reminiscent of the Gruffalo itself, it is as if the forest has in part spawned the creature, and they serve in the story to foreshadow what is to come". [26] Throughout the book, the setting doesn't change—the illustrations at the end of the book are a mirror image of the forest at the beginning.
