Red Riding Hood figure altered tale linked to monk and knight
A Kansas City Times legend reinterprets Red Riding Hood as a real girl. It recounts Abraham of Chiuna a seventh century knight who walled himself in a monk’s cell after choosing not to marry. Maury wore the hood daily and carried dairy to her uncle, passing it through a cell window. A monk named Wolf visited them and inquiries about conditions under the napkin in her basket. The knight left seclusion to search for her in disguise as a cavalier and brought her back after long effort, walling her beside him where she spent 15 years and pilgrims were said to have witnessed miracles.
