  • Abstract: While the dangerous figure described by Charles Perrault has almost disappeared in favor of a charming wolf, sometimes even stripped of its animality, the adaptations and illustrations from Le Petit Chaperon Rouge (Little Red Riding Hood) by Lydie Arickx (2012), Adolfo Serra (2012), and Joanna Concejo (2015) undertake a reimagining of the tale, restoring the frightening and intriguing image of the animal through the interpretation of the graphics.
