Notes
"It is ironic that this tale, so clearly European, is the one not published in Little Mr. Thimblefinger since it fitsinto the first two of Harris's three categories of stories for that collection. Baughman shows 1887 as the earliest publication date in England and has found examples of the tale in North Carolina and Arkansas."
