What Would a Modern Day Retelling of the 3 Little Pigs Look Like if They Had Access to Moving and Storage

All of Hollywood is a-buzz with fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Every producer, author, and storyteller is trying to get their voices heard by rewriting the classics. That is exactly what Dominic Henderson is doing with his new version of The 3 Little Pigs.

“I have always been fascinated with nursery rhymes and that sort of thing”, said Dominic Henderson in a recent interview. “I figured my first journey into the world of professional writing would be with the retelling of The 3 Little Pigs. I loved that story/nursery rhyme.”

Dominic Henderson has taken the three little pigs out of their ‘ever after’ world and placed them right into the modern world. The little pigs all have access to modern technology and live in sturdier homes than they used to in the nursery rhyme.

“The wolf is finding it harder to ‘blow down’ the homes in the modern world”, said Henderson. “The pigs are also using technology to be on alert for the wolf and see when he is coming. That is a big help. There is also another advantage to the modern world – moving and storage centers.”

One of the biggest elements of the nursery rhyme was the theory that the little pigs lost everything. They lost their personal belongings, their home, and everything else. This made them move to a new home with the next pig – who essentially built a bigger, better home.

“I added the little twist that the pigs did not lose everything”, said Henderson. “They were able to move all their personal belongings to their moving and storage centers. This allowed them to only lose a small portion of their items, as opposed to everything that they owned. I think this is a little better than being homeless and possession-less.”

The new modern day retelling of The 3 Little Pigs is scheduled to be published in a short story anthology with several other fairy tale and nursery rhyme retellings. This will be Dominic Henderson’s first short story that was published and it is already getting rave reviews.

“This is a true modern day retelling of a classic”, said a reviewer who gained access to the story early. “I am not sure many other authors could have taken this story in the direction that Henderson did. It really was amazing and I’ll be reading it over and over again.”
