\nThe story we know as Little Red Riding Hood is a very old
\none. The first printed version in the 1600\u2019s is credited to a French author,
\nCharles Perroult. The early versions ended badly as both Red and her
\ngrandmother were eaten by the wolf.<\/div>\n

\nGrimm Brothers version in the mid 1800\u2019s with both Grandma and Red escaping the
\nwolf with the help from a hunter who had luckily wandered by.<\/div>\n

\nTextiles designed for children became very popular in the
\n20thC, especially in the 1950\u2019s.  Motifs
\nwith cowboys and Indians, space ships and cars were to be found on fabrics,
\nwhich were made into pajamas, costumes and interior d\u00e9cor textiles for
\nchildren\u2019s rooms. For young children there were familiar nursery rhyme and story book
\ncharacters.  Embroidery patterns were
\ndesigned for quilts and baby blankets.<\/div>\n
