Little Red Riding Hood eBook

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Tales of the date of 1698 is in the British Museum, which has the double title of Contes de ma Mere l''oye, and Histoires ou Contes du Temps passé. When the earliest version appeared in English I know not; and I should be happy to receive any com munications on the subject. I have before me not less than five penny editions of a very primitive sort, printed almost on brown paper with wood cuts that might be taken as blocks belonging to Pfister of the fifteenth century, or any other early wood engravings. The books are without date: but do not look more than fifty years old.
