Little Red Riding Hood is a European fairy tale about a young girl and a sly wolf.[4] Its origins can be traced back to several pre-17th-century European folk tales. The two best known versions were written by Charles Perrault[5] and the Brothers Grimm.
The story has varied considerably in different versions over the centuries, translations, and as the subject of numerous modern adaptations. Other names for the story are "Little Red Cap" or simply "Red Riding Hood". It is number 333 in the Aarne–Thompson classification system for folktales.[6]
