About this book

Instead of returning from the fair with the goose Old Mother Twaddle told him to buy, her son Jack brings a single bean with magic properties, which grows nearly as high as the sun and which harbors a giant surprise. Adapted from The History of Mother Twaddle and the Marvelous Achievements of her Son Jack, written by B.A.T. and published in 1807 by J. Harris, London. Jack climbs the great beanstalk that grows from the bean he bought and confronts a giant at the top.
