Rotkäppchen [Little Red Riding Hood] (1797) Inferred

Ludwig Tieck (1773–1853) · 1797

InferredMargaret Fuller contemplated translating Ludwig Tieck's dramatic adaptation of "Little Red Riding Hood" for a child audience. The excerpt refers only to this tale, not to Tieck's Puss in Boots. Tieck's version of the classic fairy tale was published in 1800, and Fuller's interest suggests its accessibility and appeal for younger readers.
