Arthur Rackham chose the original Charles Perrault version.
The best known versions were written by Charles Perrault and then later by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Its origins can be traced back to the 10th century to several European folk tales, including one from Italy called The False Grandmother (Italian: La finta nonna), later written among others by Italo Calvino in the Italian Folk Tales collection. Italo Calvinos version of Little Red Riding Hood, The False Grandmother. Throughout the tales we learn two different positive morals of: obey your mother and when you do good things to others, you get paid back in a good way, and these morals are shown through. The False Grandmother, illustrated by Kevin Ruelle, evokes dark shades of Little Red Riding Hood. Charles Perrault, Italo Calvino, and Chiang Mi each depict different physical. The Brothers Grimm’s Little Red Cap and Italo Calvino’s The False Grandmother fairy tales both encounter a trip to the grandmother’s house. "Little Red Riding Hood" is a European fairy tale about a young girl and a Big Bad Wolf. John Turturro Reads Italo Calvino’s Short Story The False Grandmother.
Little Riding Hood is dressed in her riding hood holding some flowers she has picked for her Grandmother and carrying a large basket with the pot of butter sticking out of it.Īs always, Rackham has created a moment in time - one which is universally recognized. Grandmother's slippers are sitting neatly on the floor by the bed and next to the bed there is a candle and a bowl on a small table. The wolf is dressed in a mop cap, wearing glasses and hiding behind the curtains of the bed. The wolf is in her Grandmother's bed and tells Little Red Riding Hood to "Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the bread-bin and come and lie down with me". This wonderfully executed pen and ink drawing depicts the moment when Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf dressed up as her Grandmother. Original pen-and-ink drawing, signed "A Rackham" on lower left-hand corner, for the full-page drawing on page 275 in the The Arthur Rackham Fairy Book. "Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the bread-bin and come and lie down with me.". A Wonderful Pen and Ink Drawing from Arthur Rackham's Little Red Riding Hood.
