The Little Riding Hood (Classics Illustrated : No. 510 )
The story revolves around a girl called Little Red Riding Hood, after the red hooded cape she wears. The girl walks through the woods to deliver food to her sick grandmother.
A wolf wants to eat the girl but is afraid to do so in public. He approaches Little Red Riding Hood and she naïvely tells him where she is going. He suggests the girl pick some flowers, which she does. In the meantime, he goes to the grandmother's house and gains entry by pretending to be the girl. He swallows the grandmother whole, and waits for the girl, disguised as the grandmother.
Small enough to take anywhere, yet packed with more than 300 brain-bending challenges! Pit your wits against logic-teasers, matchstick quizzes, number problems, riddles, geometry puzzles, visual conundrums, word wonders, picture problems, mazes, and much more. Test your memory, imagination, math skills, powers of observation and deductive reasoning, and other mental talents by becoming a detective, a magician, an architect, and a creative thinker. Play with dominoes, unscramble letters, uncover inconsistencies, and solve mysteries. Plenty of amusing illustrations add to the fun.
This anthology is conceived as an introduction to recent thinking about the past of Marxist art history. It is not offered in the spirit of nostalgia – a kind of dusting off of relics – but as a prompt to critique and renewal. My assumption is that much of the history the contributors tell is little known in its specifi cs, and that its achievements are often misconstrued and undervalued.
