• ROALD DAHL
•  This version is clearly aimed at children because /…… there is the simple rhyming scheme and the humour which  make it appealing to children. 
• Yet /For all that/…. it is still laced with hidden assumptions about Little Red Riding Hood.  She is described in line 27 as the “little girl in red”. 
•  But later, she is referred to as “Miss Riding Hood” with “no silly hood upon her head”.  
• 
  
  • In France, to have ‘seen the wolf’ was a euphemism for a girl losing her virginity. 
•  Dahl’s Little Red Riding Hood has matured since having ‘seen the wolf’.  She also smiles and takes a gun from her underwear before shooting the wolf dead. 
• 
  
  • It is hilarious: “He ran around the kitchen yelping/’I’ve got to have a second helping'”
  • It is postmodern: “‘That’s wrong!’ cried wolf ‘Have you forgot/to tell me what BIG TEETH I’ve got?'”
• She is kick-ass: “The girl smiles. One eyelid flickers/She whips a pistol from her knickers.”
  
  Roald Dahl here felt the need to modernise the tale and make it more appealing to a modern audience.

The lawns are tidy, the façades are gracious, in good repair; they’re like the beautiful pictures they used to print in the magazines about homes and gardens and interior decoration. There is the same absence of people, the same air of being asleep. The street is almost like a museum, or a street in a model town constructed to show the way people used to live. As in those pictures, those museums, those model towns, there are no children.
