"Jack and the Beanstalk" is an oral legend often read by lay people as a fairy tale first published anonymously in London by Benjamin Tabart in 1807 as The History of Jack and the Bean-Stalk. Although Tabart credits an "original manuscript" as his source, the tale was probably based on an oral retelling. A similar tale called "Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean" was published in 1734, and another beanstalk tale, "The History of Mother Twaddle", was published in 1807.
