What is the publisher of the jack and the beanstalk?

Answer 1

"Jack and the Beanstalk" is a popular English fairy tale that has been passed down through generations. As a result, there isn't a specific publisher for the original story, as it has been reprinted and retold by various publishers over the years.

Answer 2

Benjamin Tabart wrote the first print version in 1807. However, it was a much older story, and it seems that the version rewritten by Joseph Jacobs in 1890 was closer to the original. In the original, Jack was a thief and murderer, but Benjamin Tabart made the giant the bad guy in his version, thus transforming Jack into a hero. Joseph Jacobs version removed the revisionism.

Answer 3

Roald Dahl is NOT the author. Are you serious? Even IF he were alive in 1890, when the 1st printed version of the story appeared, and he WASN'T (b: 9/13/1916, d: 11/23/1990) the story doesn't have even the most remote resemblance to any of the other tales that Dahl did write, the most well-known being "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" & "In The Night Kitchen. So I don't know where on earth someone would "answer" this question except to mess with people. As for who did write "Jack" the following is sourced from wikipedia: However, it was a much older story, and it seems that the version rewritten by Joseph Jacobs in 1890 was closer to the original. In the original, Jack was a thief and murderer, but Benjamin Tabart made the giant the bad guy in his version, thus transforming Jack into a hero. Joseph Jacobs version removed the revisionism.
