Hello this is my first post here since locating this treasure trove of ideas and inspiration.
I've long since loved "Little Red Riding Hood" above most other fairy tales though I admit that there are many tales I'm discovering here that I've never heard of before that I will have to invest time into tracking down.
Recently after playing an independent PC game called "The Path" I was strongly reminded of how much I adored the takes on LRRH used in movies such as "The Company Of Wolves" and "Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade".
Now that I've realized that my favorite variations of this tale are being drawn from the oral versions of the tale from long ago I've really wanted to do more research on the matter.
I've been trying to locate the complete essays of Yvonne Verdier who did extensive research not only in the Fairy Tale but also the cultures and traditions of the people who passed the tale one to the next. I would like to buy the journal she published her essays in but it seems that its long since out of stock. I've only been able to track down bits and pieces of the essay itself online and would greatly appreciate the help of the those who also adore this tale as much as I do.
I've been trying to track down any research pertaining to the obscure elements of the ancient tales were the little girl has to wear out an iron dress or iron shoes. I first came across this variant when watching Jin-Roh and have been incredibly interested in it ever since. I've only seen one other take variation I found that dealt with the iron dress or metal cloths in general was this flash video...

I feel however that this artist drew the bulk of their inspiration from the Jin-Roh variant of the tale. I'm currently writing my own variation of "LRRH" but want to ensure that I'm basing mine on as accurate a source as possible and not just what was trendy of later retellings. I want to make sure my version holds as true to the essence of the tale as much as possible and could really use some help. ^_^
