Little Red Riding Hood

Like many bits of folklore, multiple versions of the story of Little Red Riding Hood exist. In this video, I read Charles Perrault's 17th century version of the tale, which ends on a more dour note than many retellings.

What can I say? Perrault's moral amuses me so dearly that I had to read it. It is stunning how warnings remain the same over the generations. Women are still warned not to go out, not to talk to strangers, not to trust men...and should a woman be devoured it is her own fault for doing dangerous deeds.

Oh, Little Red.
