Puss in Boots

Pictured: three brothers with their inheritance, and also a goose

Greetings, reader! This week, we're looking at Perrault's version of Puss in Boots. It's very different from the character you know from Shrek. For one thing, this cat is a lady. Check out the story in the link above and ready below for an over-analysis of it.

Carmine and Her Grandma

Hello, readers! For those participating, happy NaNoWriMo! For those who have no idea what that is, in a nutshell, it's a group of crazy writers who are each trying to write 50,000 words in one month. Of course, I am one of these crazy writers. This year, I'm working on the second draft of the sequel to my novel, which is tentatively titled Pride and Pettiness. For those of you who don't know, my debut novel, A Tale of Two Tricksters, is available on Amazon. Which, incidentally, was also a NaNoWriMo novel. I may be a bit biased, but I think it's an excellent book and you should totally buy it.

This week, I wrote a modern version of Little Red Cap, the Grimm brothers version of Little Red Riding Hood that we analyzed last week. Continue below for my modern retelling!

Soup is great if your grandma is sick. Or at any time.
