-Charles Perrault-

- "Disney Fairy tale version"
- same moral, don't talk to strangers

-Brothers Grimm, Little Red Cap-

- 2 versions
- 1st very close to orginial version
- 2nd, she does not fall for wolf's lies and Red Cap and Grama outsmarts him

-Tanith Lee, Wolf Land-

-spoiled little rich girl by her father
- sent to see her strange grandmother at wolfland
-finds out gram is a wolf
-Liesel is to "inherit" the "fortune"
-she accepts her fate as Mistress of Wolfland

-Angela Carter, The Company of Wolves-

-Much more seductive and sexual
-hunter is the wolf
-seduces the wolf, does not eat her, end up in bed together
