Sandra L. Beckett is professor of French at Brock University, Ontario, Canada.
Beckett consulted a remarkable number of tale versions to produce
an exemplary comparative study that reflects the ubiquitous image
of the character of Red Riding Hood, the commodification of that
character, and that character's narrative."-- "Journal of Folklore
Research"
Red Riding Hood for All Ages offers food for thought to both
scholars and a wider audience interested in children's literature.
Even though a wide range of renowned studies on Little Red Riding
Hood have appeared since the 1980s, Beckett still manages to make a
valuable contribution."-- "International Research in Children's
Literature"
Sandra Beckett's study is a must for anyone wishing to get an
overview of the theme of LRRH in contemporary popular culture, and
to benefit from the detailed abstracts of retellings in many
languages. Perhaps best of all, this gracefully written study
provides food for thought."-- "Folklore 121, August 2010"
