Choosing one of the few fairy tales that does not conclude with a wedding, Catherine Orenstein reinterprets the many versions of "Little Red Riding Hood" by setting the tale against the mores and values of its times. The result is a highly entertaining and interesting conversation about one of our best-known stories.
Starting with the first-known published version, Orenstein points out Charles Perrault's lesson to young girls entering the lascivious and political court of Louis XIV. She traces the story further back to a shockingly playful rendition that includes bzous (werewolves) and cannibalism. In this version, she revives the symbolism that relates to the feminine by pointing out the odd questions of the bzou: "Which path are you taking... the path of needles or the path of pins?" Orenstein also takes a look at more modern versions, including Anne Sexton's poem "Red Riding Hood" and Matthew Bright's film Freeway, taking on, as she examines these and other modern versions of the old tale, the machismo wolf and the Gen-X grrrl.
Though expansive in her research, Orenstein's interpretations are occasionally too simplistic. In "Grandmother's Tale," Riding Hood's cannibalistic meal of her grandmother is reduced to a "symbolic reminder that the old will be reborn in the young." There is nothing mentioned of the talking cat who decries Riding Hood, saying, "She is a slut who eats the flesh and drinks the blood of her granny!" But what Orenstein lacks in depth, she more than makes up for in her encompassing study. In all, 10 tales are examined, as well as a vast historical study of the times they were published. Written with lively prose, Orenstein has produced a book that will spark thought and conversation, encouraging readers to find the wolf, the grandmother, and the little girl within. --Karin Rosman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

评分小红帽是我的初恋,我总觉得要是娶了小红帽,就会知道什么叫做天赐良缘。——查尔斯·狄更斯 与曾经用自己的小说威震世界的狄更斯不同,《小红帽》是润物细无声和潜移默化的,她是我们的童年世界的一个坐标。 小红帽的故事,并非采集于民间。法国人佩罗创作了她(1697年)。影...

评分为什么是小红帽?因为和别的童话女孩不一样,她不是美丽的公主,没有缺乏特征的王子,不需要美丽的爱情,最终也没有步入幸福的婚姻。 所有耳熟能详的角色里,只有两个人逃脱了被欺压、等待死亡的命运,小红帽和小人鱼。美人鱼更是第一个变接受命运为“我想要”的角色。 一直认...
