Sinopse
The book contains no notes but a short introduction to the tradition of stories about Jack. The front jacket flap emphasizes the hilarity of the folktale and illustrations. There is an emphasis on the oral tradition as the story's source, with “Told by Richard Chase” on the title page. The narrator says, “Jack?—Why he was a boy lived back in old times. I reckon he lived somewhere here in the mountains. There’s a lot of tales on Jack.” He ends with “And the last time I was down there they were both of 'em gettin' on well.” See AppLit page on this book and other variants at http://www.ferrum.edu/applit/bibs/tales/sillies.htm and bibliography of Richard Chase at http://www.ferrum.edu/applit/bibs/chasebib.htm.
