When the girl arrives at her grandmother's house, she gets into bed with the wolf. He puts on the grandmother's night-cap and gets into her bed. While she is picking flowers, the wolf goes to grandmother's house and eats her.

The wolf tells the girl to pick some flowers for her grandmother. The girl answers him, because he seems friendly. The wolf politely asks the girl where she is going. A wolf sees the girl walking through the woods and makes a plan to eat her. The mother tells her she must not stop on the way. Her mother sends her to take food to her sick grandmother. In this German picture-book, Red Riding Hood has poured a glass of beer for her Grandmother.Ī girl has been given red cap (or cloak and hood) to wear. The title of the story is properly translated as 'Little Red Cap' even though it is usually known in English as 'Little Red Riding Hood'. But their book became famous as a book of children's stories anyway. They did not originally mean for their book to be read as children's stories they were writing down German folklore for scholars to read. The Brothers Grimm listened to many traditional stories from old people and wrote them into a book. The most famous version of the story is the one written by the Brothers Grimm in the 19th century. The best-known version (the way the story is told) is Rotkäppchen by the Brothers Grimm and dates from the 19th century (1800s). It was first written down in the late 1600s, by Charles Perrault. The story comes from a folktale which means that it was a spoken story for a long time before it was a written story. ' Little Red Riding Hood' (or ' Little Red Cap') is a French fairy tale for young children about a young girl and a wolf. A picture by French illustrator Gustave Doré
