Comments: The tale of
"Little Red Riding Hood", "Chaperon Rouge" or
"Rotkäppchen" was retold by the Brothers Grimm in the 19th
century and their final version of this well known story was
completed in 1857. The basic tale of morality seems to have it's
origins in most European countries prior to the 17th century, it
contrasts the safety of village life over the perils of being in the
forest. However, the modern interpretations of this fairy tale are
as a parable of "sexual awakening" or as a "warning against the
dangers of prostitution"!

panels with highly detailed and colourful illustrations, along with
