| General note | The text and pictures originally appeared in A treasury of pleasure books for young children (1850), edited by Joseph Cundall. Cundall states, "'The story of the three bears' is a very old nursery tale, but it was never so well told as by the great poet Southey, whose version I have (with permission) given you, only I have made the intruder a little girl instead of an old woman. This I did because I found that the tale is better known with Silver-Hair, and because there are so many other stories of old women."--p. [v] of an 1853 issue of A treasury of pleasure books for young children. |
