The Wolf's Story

Subtitled ‘What Really Happened to Little Red Riding Hood’, this is the well known fairy tale told from the viewpoint of the wolf who is determined to convince readers that the version we all know is mistaken. Apparently, the wolf was really an obliging soul, helping out Grandma with odd jobs and trying to protect her from the jaw-breaking toffee that Red Riding Hood always brings. However, his tone tells a different story, or does it? Interesting comparisons could be made with the animated film Hoodwinked, which tells the story from different characters’ viewpoints.
