"Little Red Riding Hood" by Charles Perrault tells of a young girl who comes across a cunning wolf on the way to her grandmother's home. The wolf deceives both her and her grandmother and eats them, a grim ending for the protagonist of the story. This version, by Charles Perrault, was first published in France in 1697. Charles Perrault (1628–1703) was a French writer and a member of the French Academy. He laid the foundations for a new literary genre, the fairy tale, with his works derived from earlier folk tales, published in his Histoires ou contes du temps passé.  His most famous tales include Little Red Riding Hood,  Cinderella,  Puss in Boots, Sleeping Beauty and Blue beard. Some versions of Perrault's older stories influenced the German versions published by the Brothers Grimm over 100 years later.
