Grandmother, what big… teeth you have?

Enter the clearing, where shadows stretch, festivals fade, and a strange tent lies forgotten. Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, written by Jonathan Pageau, is a mysterious and haunting retelling of the classic tale. Drawing on ancient symbolism and deep mythological roots, this version explores the allure of distraction, the confusion of identity, and the courage needed to restore what has been lost…

This richly layered story is brought to life with evocative, theatrical illustrations by Chris Weaver. His bold, textured style evokes the tension and whimsy of a fairy tale dream, one where every detail pulses with hidden meaning. The characters emerge as archetypes: the Child, the Devourer, the Protector, staged against a backdrop alive with allegory and memory.

The second part of this volume includes an essay, "The Symbolism of Little Red Riding Hood," written and illustrated by Jonathan Pageau. This essay furnishes deeper insights for those who want to better understand this fairy tale and why it is such an essential part of our collective lore.

Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf emerges from the same imaginative universe as the other stories from Symbolic World Press. This standalone tale invites readers of all ages to wander into a world both familiar and strange and to discover what lies just off the path.
