Bow Wow! Guess who is Red Riding Hood? You may think the famous fairy tale about a young girl, Little Red Riding Hood, and a big bad wolf was written by the Grimm Brothers but the truth is their version is just the popular version. Jeanette Hassenpflug and Marie Hassenpflug had actually told Jacob and Wilhelm two different versions of the story in the 19th century. The earliest printed version had appeared two centuries earlier when Charles Perrault included it in the collection Tales and Stories of the Past with Morals and many other oral versions had appeared in Europe prior to that.It is also believed that the early tale could have its roots in Oriental tales.
