The Company of Wolves by Angela Carter
'The worst wolves are hairy on the inside'. Dark retelling of the fairytale about Little Red Riding Hood. Read by Amanda Root.
Be warned: 'The worst wolves are hairy on the inside'.
Lustful desires explored in this re-working of the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale by Angela Carter.
Read by Amanda Root.
Here's what the Radio Times thought:
"This Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ7-commissioned reading by Amanda Root is entirely faithful to Carter's short story and doesn't disappoint on the chill-and-psychological-thrill front. The young girl who wanders from the path in a forest full of bestial dangers ends up living a life that goes against everything we ever took away from Little Red Riding Hood - never have the basic needs of a wild wolf seemed so irresistibly attractive."
Producer: Gemma Jenkins
