The Story of the Three Little Pigs

From English Fairy Tales, collected by Joseph Jacobs

This is a traditional English fairy tale collected by Joseph Jacobs in 1890. Jacobs gathered folk stories from across England and published them for children. This tale has been told for generations and teaches that hard work and cleverness can keep you safe. The wolf is a folk-tale villain; the consequences he faces are handled as in the original oral tradition. This text reflects its era.
