From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little Red Riding Hood is a traditional fairy tale. Although it's origins can be traced to the oral tradition in both France and Italy, it first appeared in it's literary form in 1697 France. The most recognisable form of the tale describes a young girl's forest encounter with a predatory wolf. The wolf devours the child's grandmother and then eats the child herself. In the most famous version, although not in Perrault's original, Little Red Riding Hood is rescued from the wolf's stomach. There are numerous re-tellings and adaptations of the tale, both contemporary to the original and modern. Some critics see the pervasiveness of these retellings as a testament to its enduring popularity as 'it raises issues about gender identity, sexuality, violence and the civilising process in a unique and succinct symbolic form that children and adults can understand on different levels'. However, the tale has also courted controversy and feminist re-tellings in particular set out to reject what they see as the inherent patriarchal ideologies of the original.
