Queen Elizabeth's cook actually was the first rumored to have shaped the cookies into the likenesses of particular people. The gingerbread cookies were handed out to specific people whose charicatures were conveyed in the shape of the cookie. The little joke was a big hit, and started the fad. The tale of the gingerbread man comes from a long line of old European stories, all of them tell of some kind of edible fleeing the table, The Fleeing Pancake, Johnny-Pancake, and other tales share a common ilk. The story we commonly hear as children growing up of the Gingerbread running fast, fast as he can comes from a long-blended version of all these stories.
