Little Red-Cap (or, Little Red Riding Hood)

Written by The Brothers Grimm

Narrated by George Newbern

In Little Red Cap, or Little Red Riding Hood, a little girl walks through the woods to deliver wine and cake to her sickly grandmother. Having been warned by her mother not to stray from the path, she is tricked by a large wolf into picking flowers in a nearby field. During this time, the wolf, masquerading as Little Red Cap, swindles the grandmother into letting him in. He then devours her and dons her clothing. When Little Red Cap arrives, the wolf, whose appetite was merely whetted by the frail grandmother, makes a meal out of the young girl. Happily, a brave woodsman arrives to rescue the both of them.

The Brothers Grimm

Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm (1786- 1859) created some of the most iconic folk and fairy tales in the world. Well revered academics, philosophers, cultural researchers, and then celebrated authors, the brothers Grimm dedicated their lives to establishing the modern day study of folklore. Growing up during the rise of the Romantic movement, the brothers were among the first to capture and collect stories that have become some of the most influential of our time, such as Cinderella, The Frog Prince, and Rapunzel in their first volume of Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children’s and Household Tales).
