In this version of the story, Red Riding Hood is an older girl on the cusp of becoming a woman. She lives with her mother and ill father in a run-down cabin in impoverished village, which is about an hours walk through the Dark Forest to the manor house her cruel grandmother owns.

And it was good food: steaming stews of meat and carrot, plumply filled ham and venison pies, sweetly spiced pastries, and the softest, warmest bread Red Riding Hood had ever tasted. As well as filling her belly, the girl always left the manor stashing as much food in her cape as she could without her grandmother noticing. Ever since, at age six, when she first walked back through the woods, all alone in the dark and weighed down by the morsels of food that would be her parents' dinner for the week, Red Riding Hood had felt the strain of appeasing a woman [cont. below]
