Overview

Recycling Red Riding Hood examines contemporary retellings of the world's best-known fairy tale in a large corpus of international children's texts, many of which have never been translated into English. The book addresses a new area in children's literary theory and criticism: intertextuality and the retold story. It examines narrative techniques, such as hybrid genres and metaliterary play, that have rarely been applied to children's literature.
