SOURCE: From a Scotch tale, 'Nicht Nought Nothing', collected by Mr Andrew Lang in Morayshire, published by him first in Revue Celtique, t. iii; then in his Custom and Myth, p. 89; and again in Folk-Lore, September 1890.
Joseph Jacobs: "I have changed the name so as to retain the équivoque of the giant's reply to the king. I have also inserted the incidents of the flight, mainly from the Pentamerone version, and expanded the conclusion, which is very curtailed and confused in the original."
