In Jacobs’
English fairy tales and Lang’s Green fairy
book,
a version by Southey has been followed exactly.
In
some of the other versions a little girl has been
substituted
for the old woman and there are minor
variations.
In Mrs. Valentine’s Old, old fairy tales,
the
story has been greatly changed and lengthened.

in
