Little Red Riding Hood... more than a children's story this time

I love finding a book that I’m excited to write about!   This is just such a book!  It has everything I look for in a story—dynamic interesting characters, fascinating and complex plot (almost too complex at one point… but more on that later), and even a great setting.  

The Evolution of Fairytales

Once Upon a Time, in a land far away, is the beginning of many stories that we now know as Fairytales.  These are stories passed down through the centuries.  They have been adapted through the ages from oral tradition to written works by numerous sources.  Some of the most well-known names begin with Charles Perrault’s Mother Goose Tales, then came the Brothers Grimm’s Children’s and Household Tales, and then eventually this type of story was called “fairy-tales” by Hans Christian Anderson.
