S1E4 - Little Red Riding Hood: The Path of Pins or the Path of Needles
01/03/19 • 52 min
Will you take the path of pins or the path of needles? This is the question that Little Red Riding Hood must answer not as a girl who should be wary of talking to strangers, but as a young woman entering into sexual maturity who might be the target of smooth-talking predatory men. In this episode of Roots of Lore, we're exploring the story of Little Red Riding Hood as she passed through the hands of werewolves and into the hands of Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, plus the story of Lon Po Po, the Chinese version of Little Red Riding Hood.
