Other Notes

 * There are several British folktales of a boy named Jack slaying a giant (or multiple giants). "Jack and the Beanstalk" is the English version, while the more violent Cornish version, "Jack the Giant-Killer" is also well-known. Needless to say, Jack being a woman is a modern conceit.
