Le Petit Chaperon rouge (santon)
Tout d'abord je me suis rappelé il y a peu de temps qu'il y a une page Facebook sur les Santons de Charlevoix. je ne sais pas trop où ils vendent leurs produits, mais ça veut dire qu'il y aura moyen d'en trouver lors de mon retour au Québec. J'ai aussi découvert pleins de santons sans leurs photos.
Dont ce Petit Chaperon rouge un peu garçon manqué. J'aimerais bien qu'il fasse partie de ma future collection malgré tout. Le conte me fascinant depuis que je suis tout petit, il me semble qu'un santon à l'effigie du personnage serait une bonne idée.

Woodlands and Forests Folklore
The treasures you find in the local bookshop, sometimes literally.When I went a few months ago, I bought Treasury of Folklore: Woodlands and Forests. It says on the cover that it has Wild Gods, World Trees and Werewolves. And the cover features Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. This cover would have been enough to convince meto buy it, because I am ascinated by the tale so much. I already have two books from the collection, the sea one (present from my wife, which I am reading at the moment) and the Treasury of British Folklore (read it, loved it). But since woodlands are forests are my favourite setting for fairy tales and legends, I want to read this one even more than the other two.

Le Loup, déguisé en mère-grand
J'ai pris cette photo à Sundown Adventureland, lors de notre visite là-bas en septembre 2019. J'ai l'impression que ça fait très longtemps. Il y avait une section sur les conte des fées, sans doute ma partie préférée du parc d'attractions et celle où j'aurais aimé passer le plus de temps. Vous voyez bien entendu le Grand Méchant Loup qui attend le Petit Chaperon Rouge. Je trouve que le Loup a l'air à la fois joliment grotesque dans son déguisement qui ne trompe personne (sauf les peites filles innocentes) et délicieusement sinistre. Si mon souvenir est exact, mon petit loup à moi n'a pas trop aimé.

La peur du loup
J,ai pensé ce soir faire une nouvelle suggestion de lecture pour l'Halloween, dans un domaine plus encyclopédique: La peur du loup, qui est dans la même collection que cet autre ouvrage et apprend bien des choses sur les perceptions fausses et la vraie nature du loup. Tout y passe: le loup-garou, la Bête du Gévaudan, le petit chaperon rouge, etc. C'est un ouvrage de référence pour ceux comme moi aiment le loup, mais sont aussi fascinés par la peur irrationnelle qu'il a suscitée et suscite malheureusement encore chez certaines personnes.

Little Red Riding Hood
I have been wanting to buy to little Wolfie one version or another of Little Red Riding Hood. I finally decided to buy this version, in the local bookshop, because I quite liked the images. They were lush with bright colours nd the Big Bad Wolf looked menacing enough without being too scary. It is a good rendition of the tale overall, although I find it slightly odd that among the things Little Red Riding Hood brings to her grandmother there is... blackcurrant juice. I don't remember any versions from my childhood that had blackcurrant juice. Wolfie loves it anyway, even though he does not follow the story: he just stares in awe at the images and... chews the corners. But he usually smiles when I put it in his hands.

Looking for the Big Bad Wolf
As I blogged before in French, I have been looking for a wolf plush toy for the little Wolfie baby who is coming soon. As I call our son little wolf and wolfie, making the wolf his totem animal (until he decides otherwise), it made sense for him to have a wolf plush toy. Well, after a good bit of online research, I found this big bad wolf from IKEA. This is SO perfect. He is the wolf of the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale, with the grandmother snack in his arms and everything. I was thinking if I was lucky to find a naturalistic looking wolf, not the Big Bad Wolf from the fairytales, which is truly what one wants for his child. Give it to a Swedish company to give to a new generation of children to discover this great baddie archetype. Apparently he is named Lufsig and parts of the money you spend on him is sent to charities. Now I don't know if Lufsig available in the UK, but now I know what I'm looking for.

Little Red Riding Hood (and an early Halloween memory)
This picture was taken in the Totnes Museum during my last holiday in Devon and it will be used for tonight's countdown to Halloween post. It is the center page of an old, old chidren book of fairytales. And let's face it: it is a horrid drawing, especially on the left hand side, with the floating head of Little Red Riding Hood. And the wolf looks like he has a beak instead of a mouth. But the ugliness of the drawing itself makes it scary. But anyway, I wanted to blog about the tale.
It is maybe my favourite fairytale and the one I loved most as a child. My early fascination to the tale was because of its antagonist: the hungry wolf who was both a ravenous beast and a soft spoken seducer, as well as a master of disguises. I loved the wolf so much, I believe the wolf of the tale became my first Halloween disguise when I went trick or treating, at the time I was little more than a toddler. There is still a picture of me as the big bad wolf somewhere. it was a rather poor costume: an old black cape with a hood and some fangs and blood my dad had done with makeup. Still, I felt terrifying. There is more to blog about the tale and I might do this in the next few weeks. But tonight all I can think of is this early Halloween memory.

Les origines du Petit Chaperon Rouge
"On voit ici que de jeunes enfants, Surtout de jeunes filles Belles, bien faites, et gentilles, Font très mal d'écouter toute sorte de gens, Et que ce n'est pas chose étrange, S'il en est tant que le Loup mange.Le Petit Chaperon Rouge, Charles Perrault
Je dis le Loup, car tous les Loups ne sont pas de la même sorte ; Il en est d'une humeur accorte, Sans bruit, sans fiel et sans courroux, Qui privés, complaisants et doux, Suivent les jeunes Demoiselles jusque dans les maisons, jusque dans les ruelles ; Mais hélas ! qui ne sait que ces loups doucereux, De tous les loups sont les plus dangereux. "
Mon père m'a fait parvenir cet article de Cyberpresse, sur les origines du Petit Chaperon Rouge. Ca m'a rappelé mes études en littérature. Je n'ai jamais beaucoup fait dans la génétique, mais c'est un champ fascinant de la littérature, surtout dans le cas des contes et des légendes, alors qu'on peut, comme c'est le cas ici, appliquer l'évolutionisme à un phénomène non biologique. On fait cela souvent en linguistique, d'ailleurs. Le Petit Chaperon Rouge est sans doute mon conte préféré, incidemment. Enfin bref, il y a des moments ou je regrette de ne plus être universitaire.

Little Red Riding Hood
Hey, I found on youtube an animated version of Little Red Riding Hood, with the animation and characters done by Ray Harryhausen at the early stage of his career. As you suspect I always loved the story, and I am a fan of Ray Harryhausen, so I am quite happy. His wolf sure is terrifying. Harryhausen makes the story appropriately atmospheric and scary. It's interesting to see that here the wolf did not eat the grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood. Maybe it was due to the limitations of animation. Another detail i find very funny: when pursued by the wolf, Little Red Riding Hood acts like a girl from a slasher movie and takes the stairs (where she can only get trapped) instead of leaving the house.
