If you want an interesting ref for LRRH it is known in the canon as AT333 (which means if you go to dusty old folklore collections and look up that in the type index you'll find versions of LRRH.) and also there is by Alan Dundes a book entitled Little Red Riding Hood --- A Casebook. Loads of useful material to base some Gloranthan folklore.
BTW have you noticed that there is very little Glorantha folklore? If you take the standard definition of the relation between myth and folktale (structurally similar but myths deal with social problems and folktales personal problems) I think virtually everything I've seen so far has been based on myth.
Out of interest what things would an Orlanthi consider as bringing good or bad luck?
