Little Red Riding Hood Uncloaked

This book is a fairly interesting examination of this fairy tale from various angles including the quite good early Reese Witherspoon film Freeway. One theme is how it changed over time down to its ending. Some chapters seemed a bit thin (e.g., yes, rape as a legal matter was traditionally applied thru a male lens, but didn't you say the tales often was less so, including "old wives" tales?) but it was overall a brisk nutritious read.
