The well known tale of the young girl, her grandmother and the wolf, ''[[Little Red Riding Hood]]'' is a European fairy tale and has its origins in various European folk tales from the 10th century, including the Italian tale of ''La finta nonna'' ("The False Grandmother"). The two best known and probably most influential versions were written by Charles Perrault (1628-1703)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Perrault] and the Brothers Grimm (1780s-1860s)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brothers_Grimm].
