Excerpt from Tales of Passed Times Written for Children Once upon a time, there lived in a certain village, a little country girl, the prettiest creature was ever seen. Her mother was excessively fond of her and her grand-mother doated on her much more. This good woman got made for her a little red riding-hood; which became the girl so extremely well, that every body called her Little Red Riding Hood.

One day, her mother, having made some custards, said to her, Go my dear, and see how thy grand-mamma does, for I hear she has been very ill, carry her a custard, and this little pot of butter. Little Red riding-hood sets out immediately to go to her grand-mother, who lived in another village. As she was going thro' the wood, she met with Gaffer Wolf, who had a very great mind to eat her up, but he durst not, because of some faggot makers hard by in the forest.
