Little Red Cap

From Grimm's Fairy Stories, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

This tale comes from Grimm's Fairy Stories, collected by the German brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm and first published in the early nineteenth century. The Grimms gathered traditional folk tales from oral storytellers and preserved them in writing. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. Little Red Cap is one of the most famous fairy tales in the world, and it teaches children to be cautious, to listen to their parents' warnings, and to recognise that danger can wear a friendly face.
