• November 14, 2006, on Little Red Riding Hood:

  I am a third year student doing a honours degree in Ireland. An integral part of your course this year is to carry out book reviews and analysis. While doing my research i stumbled upon your Little Red Riding hood story and found it extremely interesting. We have had several discussions about the underlying meaning of fairytales. that they were first aimed at adults and then adapted to suit the needs child. We looked in depth at several books including Alice in Wonderland in which we identified was corrupt with political agendas and not at all suitable for children. And as for Goldielock and The Three Bears- teaching children that it is okay 1.break and enter, 2.break up furniture in the house,3.steal their food and then run away??!! hardly a good example to be setting for children. I found it very interesting to see your view on Little Red Riding Hood, many thanks for the good reading. regards
