Little Red Riding Hood - Gender-Swapped Fairytales with Seven Stories & Faber

Join award-winning storytellers Brooke & Hannah from Little Supernovas & Onceupona on Zoom to imagine a world where kings prick their fingers as they sew, wolves wear heels, and princesses race to rescue sleeping princes.

Once upon a time there lived in a certain village a little country boy, the prettiest creature was ever seen. His father was excessively fond of him; and his grandfather doted on him still more. This good man had made for him a little red riding-hood; which became the boy so extremely well that everybody called him Little Red Riding-Hood.

Turning the fairy tales we know and love on their heads, Gender Swapped Fairy Tales shines a light on the gender stereotypes woven into the stories we've been telling our children for generations. From Sleeping Handsome to Jacqueline and the Beanstalk and Gretel and Hansel, you'll be dazzled by the world this one small swap creates. Gender Swapped Fairy Tales by Karrie Fransman and Jonathan Plackett is available from 2 November.
