Red Ridin' in the Hood
Book (italiano):
<div><b>Famous tales refashioned in Latin American settings</b><br><br>Eleven classic tales are retold with an injection of Latino<br>culture, providing a twist on the traditional forms while<br>sustaining a freshness all their own. The title story, "Red Ridin'<br>in the Hood," moves the setting to the barrio, where Red<br>decides to brave dangerous Forest Street in order to reach her<br>abuelita and encounters the menacing wolf in a thumping<br>Chevy lowrider. Some stories are set in the Mexican<br>countryside; in "Belleza y La Bestia," the beautiful heroine is a<br>defender of the Revolution and teaches the beast about the<br>righteousness of the freedom fighters. "El Día de los Muertos," a<br>retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, takes place in<br>the time of the Aztecs and casts Orpheus as the feather-maker<br>Nochehuatl.<br><br>These and the other cuentos in this book are further brought to<br>life by abundant illustrations, by turns comical and poignant.<br></div>
