Red hat on Manhattan. Gait Carmen Martin

Seeing the name “Red Red Riding Hood”, you will probably think that you know this story by heart. But what if you transfer its action to our time, and to settle the heroine in a big city-say, New York?

the red cap will be called sarah, her grandmother will be the former singer of the musical Hall, the central forest will become a dark forest Park, but the wolf will appear in the guise of the confectionery king Mr. Wolf, who hunts for the recipe for the best strawberry cake.

In the story that the Spanish writer Carmen Martin Gaita told, the most important thing remains of the classical fairy tale - the travels full of difficulties and dangers, which is sent to Little Sarah, a trip to adulthood.
