Incarnations of Little Red Riding Hood in Board and Video Games

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Since Charles Perrault put down his fairy tale version of Little Red Riding Hood in 1697, scholars have discovered that his was just one of many versions, and that the heroine has been constantly adapted into new media (for a brief overview of the process and strategies, see: Orenstein (2002, pp. 2-26) and Doughty (2006, pp. 36-51)). Susana Tosca has studied the phenomenon of adaptation when the fairy tale is translated into digital media (2013). The purpose of this chapter is to take into account the next step in the evolution of the tale: that is, LRRH in the postdigital period.
