Little Red Riding Hood, 1810

Posted on 26th January 2016 by William the Bloody

Here’s a nice little piece from the British Library on a chapbook version of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ (Neil Gaiman’s favourite fairy tale–see my previous post). The BL’s website is, incidentally, an excellent resource for literary researchers, with many critical essays and analyses of items in their fabulous collection.

    I prefer the versions such as this (derived from Perrault) where LRRH gets eaten (what does that say about me I wonder?). I just think they are more authentic and it is obviously written as a cautionary tale. I have looked at the 1810 Grimm which this article links to at the BL recently for my Pied Piper article…very special to handle and read.
