Best Answer
The Three Little Pigs

The tale has several similarities with "The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids" (the "kids" being young goats) included in Grimm's Fairy Tales (Kinder- und Hausm�rchen, or Children's and Household Tales) by The Brothers Grimm, a collection that was first published in 1812 and had several revisions and additions until 1857.

The tale of the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf was included in Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Tales by James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps, first published around 1843. It seems to have become popular during the late 19th century. Variations of the tale appeared in Uncle Remus: His Songs and Sayings in 1881. The story also made an appearance in Nights with Uncle Remus in 1883, both by Joel Chandler Harris, in which the pigs were replaced by Brer Rabbit. The story in its arguably best-known form appeared in English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs, first published in 1898 and crediting Halliwell as his source.


The name of the original author (or story-teller) is lost in history. The story first appeared in print in the 1840s but it is much older.

"The Three Little Pigs" is a folk tale that has been passed down through generations, so it does not have a single author. It was first published in England in the 19th century and has since been adapted and retold in various versions around the world.

No one knows
The author of the nursery tale is unknown. The earliest modern versions appeared in the 1880s. There have been innumerable illustrated books and Cartoons of the story, and its many variations.

The story of the 'three little pigs' is an old folk fairy tale where three pigs who can supposedly build houses and talk, each go and build their own house each of different materials. Printed versions are dated to go back about as far as the late 1840s, though the story itself is said to be much older and to go back as far as the medieval times. To this day nobody knows who specifically wrote it or whether it was even one person.
