Additional Information:
Jack and the Beanstalk is an English fairy tale, closely associated with the tale of Jack the Giant Killer. It is known under a number of versions. Benjamin Tabart's moralized version of 1807[1] is the first appearance in print, but Joseph Jacobs popularized it in English Fairy Tales (1890).[2] Jacobs's version is most commonly reprinted today and is believed to more closely adhere to the oral versions than Tabart's, because it lacks the moralizing of that version.[3] The story was made into a play by Charles Ludlam.
