Summary | "Jack and the Bean-Stalk: English Hexameters" by Hallam Tennyson is a poetic retelling of the classic fairy tale, written during the late 19th century. This work can be categorized as a children's story or a fairy tale adaptation, capturing themes of adventure and moral lessons through its engaging narrative. The book presents a rendition of the story of Jack, a young boy who embarks on a thrilling journey involving magic beans, a towering beanstalk, and encounters with a fearsome giant. In this version of the tale, Jack is introduced as a lazy youth living with his impoverished mother. After selling their only cow for a handful of beans, he discovers the magical beanstalk that grows overnight. Climbing it, Jack encounters a giant and his treasures, including a hen that lays golden eggs and a magical harp. Each time he visits the giant's castle, Jack steals something valuable, showcasing his cleverness, but also exposing the danger he faces from the giant. Ultimately, after a narrow escape that results in the giant's death, Jack returns home to a life transformed by his riches. The story underscores themes of bravery, resourcefulness, and the consequences of one's actions. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
