Abstract
Little Red Riding Hood is a European fairy tale about a young girl and a sly wolf. Its origins can be traced back to several pre-17th-century European folk tales. The two best known versions were written by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm.
Description
"Red Riding Hood" is a classic fairy tale about a young girl who wears a red cloak and visits her grandmother's house. On her way through the forest, she encounters a cunning wolf who disguises himself as her grandmother. The wolf’s plan is to deceive Red Riding Hood and eat her. In most versions, Red Riding Hood eventually discovers the wolf's deception, and with the help of a huntsman or woodcutter, the wolf is defeated, saving both her and her grandmother. The story often carries themes of innocence, danger, and the importance of being cautious with strangers.
