Hmm, I always kinda knew what this tale was about, and I only read it (and the Grimm's version) for some research on feminist theory, and I have to say I'm sort of disappointed. I mean, I knew it was going to be a sketchy fairy tale, but somehow I expected more from it, having heard it mentioned so often in pop culture.

“I say “wolf,” but there are various kinds of wolves. There are also those who are charming, quiet, polite, unassuming, complacent, and sweet, who pursue young women at home and in the streets. And unfortunately, it is these gentle wolves who are the most dangerous ones of all."

This is such an odd version of the story... I can’t believe I never read it before now! It ends abruptly and hides none of its morals... altogether, I like the Grimm’s version better.

Reading this for my English class was ridiculously cool. Seeing some of these originals and the inter texts created for them are so interesting.

Lo que me gusta de este cuento es como no la moraleja que se puede deducir, que no se debe parar hablar con extraños...

En este caso, el cuento de Caperucita Roja tiene tres versiones: la primera de Charles Perrault, la segunda de los Hermanos Grimm, que son las más conocidas por nosotros y la última la de Tieck que está plasmada como si fuese una obra de teatro.

La versión que más me ha gustado ha sido la de los hermanos Grimm.. y creo que por el toque macabro que tiene.. y la diferencia entre lo que he escuchado siempre y lo que he leído, como por ejemplo que Caperucita se enfrentó dos veces al lobo pero uno diferente.

This edition of Little Red Riding hood, while brilliantly photographed, is arguably not a children's book. The pictures and text alternate pages, which doesn't really work for children, the images are dark and obscure and black-and-white--sometimes you can't even tell what is going on in the image. Also, the ending implies rape. So there's that.

But what to make of this? Should it be shelved in the Children's section? It's more art than anything, I would argue.
