Little Red-Cap

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

This reader is adapted from Grimm's Fairy Stories, collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm and first published in the early nineteenth century. The Grimm brothers gathered traditional folk tales from across Germany and shared them with the world. "Little Red-Cap" teaches children to listen to wise advice and to be careful of strangers. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The tale has been told in many versions over the centuries, but the Grimms' telling remains one of the most famous.
