I ran across this article on some lesser-known versions of Little Red Riding Hood and the history of its retellings the other day and thought I’d share it, although we’ve finished that part of the class.

Towards the end there’s a long (long, long) list of more recent retellings. I haven’t read most of them, but I can definitely recommend the short story collection “Swan Sister,” the version from Roald Dahl’s “Revolting Rhymes” (there’s a video version with different voice actors here), and the essay collection “Touch Magic” by Jane Yolen. (Actually I have a copy of that one, so if anyone wants to borrow it let me know.)
