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.
