fee, fi, fo, fum, i smell the blood of an englishman.
The most famous words of this tale.
And they are missing!
This book should be called Jacks Brother and the Beanstalk. I mean, what gives? who do these people think they are, changing classic tales into something less. There is absolutly nothing wrong with the original text. It IS an english tale, about an english boy. And as an englishman i have no issue with the giant calling the boy english!!
i threw this book in the bin, and will buy the correct and better original...

I was reading this to my daughter and started saying the words "Fee fi Fo fum I smell the blood of an englishmen" Only to relise that is not what was written in this book, why do we feel the need to change words to classics.

A fabulous collection!
Classic story, easy to read and understand and not too long or too short. I bought the entire range of first favourite tales for my 2 year old and she loves them. Read more
