Quote: The origins of the Little Red Riding Hood story can be traced to several likely pre-17th century versions from various European countries. Some of these are significantly different from the currently known, Grimms-inspired version. It was told by French peasants in the 10th century[4] and recorded by the cathedral schoolmaster Egbert of Liège.[19] A fifteenth-century collection of folklore described an anecdote about a woman whose husband was a werewolf[20]though it bears little resemblance to Perrault's text.[21]In Italy, Little Red Riding Hood was told by peasants in the fourteenth century, where a number of versions exist, including La finta nonna (The False Grandmother), written among others by Italo Calvino in the Italian Folktalescollection.[22] It has also been called "The Story of Grandmother". It is also possible that this early tale has roots in very similar East Asian tales (e.g. "Grandaunt Tiger").[23]
