Li'l Red Riding Hood
The story of Little Red Riding Hood, first published in 1697 by Charles Perrault, was probably intended to serve as a cautionary tale for young ladies - discouraging them from talking to strangers or venturing alone into the woods!
The tale was adapted in the 19th century by the Brothers Grimm, who turned itinto a kinder and gentler tale wherein the wolf is killed and the girl is saved - a story much less likely to give it's young readers nightmares.
