<P> `` Jack and the Beanstalk '' is an English fairy tale . It appeared as `` The Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean '' in 1734 and as Benjamin Tabart 's moralised `` The History of Jack and the Bean - Stalk '' in 1807 . Henry Cole , publishing under pen name Felix Summerly popularised the tale in The Home Treasury ( 1845 ) , and Joseph Jacobs rewrote it in English Fairy Tales ( 1890 ) . Jacobs ' version is most commonly reprinted today and it is believed to be closer to the oral versions than Tabart 's because it lacks the moralising . </P>
