One of my favourite fairy tales is Rumplestiltskin. It used to invoke such a mix of emotions.

Little red riding hood-

As with all good fairy tales it can be related to both children and the adults who read them.

Don't quote me on this however I believe it is a story not of innocence but of a young lady who strays from the 'righteous" path ie. Deterring from the path to her grandmothers. The fact she wears red, which is a known provocative colour of passion, lust and some may say desire ( forever immortalised by chris deburg - lady in red) prove she is intrigued if not wanting to learn more of the 'other' path . The hood can be interpreted as her narrow or shielded view of her surroundings or even ignorence. The wolf can also be seen to represented as the one who tries to lead her astray. The fact the wolf eats dear grandma * view of grandmothers is often wholesome godfearing individuals with strong morals and principles* shows wolfs contempt towards all things 'good'. The axemen typically is the knight in shinning armour who knows chivalry and protects little red riding hood's innocence by claiming the wolfs life-

May have missed out a few things in the story, but hopefully you get the gist of it

Loved all the Grimm tales as a kid, but also loved to read about ancient mythology what the Greek and Roman gods were up to - great life if you were god or demi god... not so good for the mortals at times.

Loved the story of Sleeping Beauty and the one of Rapunzel...

Out of the greek and roman gods the greek are by far the best. The stories of greek gods actually represent battles of the tribes that fought in the name of there deity s. And many of the stories can be related to actual battles that took place in them times. Obviously over exaggerated but one lesson to be taken is the victor of lost wars writes history. Hence it is called HISstory. Am starting to sound ever so slightly nerdish

My favourite too.

I did this for my English dissertation ... there's a little more to it than already mentioned (as there are so many versions) but its origins were as a European oral folk tale in the middle ages and the 'wolf' was in fact a B'zou (werewolf). The red riding hood character was tricked into cannibalising her grandmother in the original tale - it was all pretty gruesome. She also was persuaded to perform an erotic striptease for the B'zou and climbed naked into bed with him. A far cry from the innocent children's story more commonly known today.

Don't want to sound nerdy but the 'red' aspect didn't come into play until French writer Charles Perrault adapted it to use as a 'warning' to young ladies in the King's court a few hundred years later in his version 'Little Red Cap'.

Sheesh I could go on for hours ... but won't lol

I Like the ones from "couples" who haven't met anyone, no photo verification, no pics - yet tell me I'm a timewaster because I refuse to respond to "come fuck my wife" one liner emails

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.

Like most fairy tales, on the surface a story for children but full of philosophy and poetic metaphor.

Well there we go, thing I love about all fine fairy tales is there open to interpretation. Almost all fairy tales have a factual foundation however the cornerstone of most fairy tales stay the same no matter how long ago they were written. Story telling is as much of an art as conversation, martial arts, sex and masterpieces such as the mona lisa.
