Well, it’s Sunday, & time for something different. Very different…
… a novel take on Little Red Riding Hood - found via Graph Jam. Sort of science-y in a fun sort of way, in its use of graphics & cutaway diagrams. I’m always filled with admiration for the clever folks who have the skills & imagination to do this stuff.
But I still felt a bit sorry for the wolf. (Although the Pratchett version, in Witches Abroad, is an altogether more pathetic figure).
It’s hilarious, isn’t it?
As soon as Wolf began to feel/ that he would like a decent meal/ he went and knocked on Grandma’s door/…

This also does not end happily for poor Wolf – but being a Dahl story there’s something of a twist in the tale :)

Roald Dahl’s take on this story in “Revolting Rhymes” is a lot of fun.
