Excerpt from Tales of Passed Times Written for Children <p>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. <p>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. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
