Red Riding Hood is one of the most ancient and, at the same time, one of the most popular fairytales in the world, which makes it an inspiration for so many authors. This thesis analyzes some of the chosen works in spanish of the past forty years and discovers whether the fairytale has been subject to changes and adaptations to the modern world and where they are shown. Analyzing all these literary works, we can surely see that the presence of this fairytale on the market is still very strong and its rewritings are so different. This is due to Perrault's or brothers Grimm's versions being still very alive, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, due to other abounding versions in which the fairytale is just a piece of background that serves to create a new original work with new messages opening new horizons to the readers.Red Riding Hood is one of the most ancient and, at the same time, one of the most popular fairytales in the world, which makes it an inspiration for so many authors.
