Jack and the Beanstalk is a British fairy tale.  The earliest known appearance in print is Benjamin Tabart's moralized version of 1807 . 'Felix Summerly (Henry Role) popularized in the Home Treasury (1842) , and Joseph Jacobs rewrote it in English fairy tales (1890). Jacob's version is most commonly reprinted today and it is believed to be closer to the oral versions than Tabart's because it lacks the moralizing.
