Description
Summary:C. Orenstein, "Little Red Riding Hood Uncloaked: Sex, Morality and the Evolution of a Fairy Tale". A wide-ranging survey of the Red Riding Hood tale, looking at the differences between its variants and locating these in their social contexts. Postmodern treatments of the tale are not accorded the attention they merit, nor are childish readings. Where the focus is on adult concerns the book is lucid, well-researched and insightful.
