Google is honoring the 200th anniversary of folk tales by Brothers Grimm with one of its famous interactive Google Doodles on the homepage.
The Doodle allows web visitors to toggle between storyboards of the classic “Little Red Riding Hood” tale, as retold by Jacob Grimm and his younger brother Wilhelm Grimm, known as the Brothers Grimm, in the 19th century.

Their first narrative collection, dubbed “Children’s and Household Tales” published in 1812.
