The Tale of Despereaux falls into the category of animal fantasy with a twist of a quest tale to it. Characters in this book are given human capabilities to talk, have thoughts and emotions at well. The author added some fairy tale qualities to it such as good versus evil, hero quest and captured princess. The book is intended for both children and adults. It does get darker sometimes with death and revenge amongst some of the characters. The author invites the reader to participate in the story

As time passes by, the world is constantly evolving. One of such world evolutions would include literature and its content. As time evolves, so does the adaptations of Grimm’s Little Red Cap.

Although I did not enjoy the film, the morals and themes in Snow White
