Fairytalez.com is proud to announce a new writing competition!
A red cloak, a voyage through the woods, and a conniving wolf.
These are the elements of one of the most famous fairy tales of all time, Little Red Riding Hood. The earliest variations and versions of this fairy tale can be traced to the pre-17th century throughout various regions. Charles Perrault is the author of one of the earliest printed editions, and folklore scholar Maria Tartar says he added the detail of a red cloak to the story. The Brothers Grimm published their own version, Little Red Cap. Even Andrew Lang took on the tale with The True History of Little Golden Hood. Now we want to hear your version of this beloved fairy tale.
For this writing competition, we want you to retell Little Red Riding Hood. You can tell it in any genre or style with any setting. Just include the core elements of the story: a figure with a cloak, a Big Bad Wolf figure, and a journey. You may want to read through some of the linked tales for inspiration.
