40. Little Red Riding Hood

The Story Apothecary

Story Prescription: A story about coming of age, about having courage and about the importance of wise grandmothers. . Story Caution: This story is for people over the age of 14, not because there are scary wolves, but because it contains some mature content. . If you think you know Little Red Riding Hood, think again. I share with you the oral women's version of the story from France, before it became a written down and 'famous' version. There is a wolf of course, but this is where the similarities end. A story of women's sexuality and bravery. Enjoy! . To support my work financially you can become a a regular patron on Patreon.
