Benjamin Tabart wrote the first print version in 1807. However, it was a much older story, and it seems that the version rewritten by Joseph Jacobs in 1890 was closer to the original. In the original, Jack was a thief and murderer, but Benjamin Tabart made the giant the bad guy in his version, thus transforming Jack into a hero. Joseph Jacobs version removed the revisionism.
