Hop-o'-My-Thumb
Hop-o'-My-Thumb (Hop-on-My-Thumb), or Hop o' My Thumb, also known as Little Thumbling, Little Thumb, or Little Poucet ((フランス語:Le petit Poucet)), is one of the eight fairytales published by Charles Perrault in ''Histoires ou Contes du temps passé'' (1697), now world-renowned.〔Opie, Iona and Peter. ''The Classic Fairy Tales''. Oxford University Press, 1974, p. 21.〕〔Bottigheimer, Ruth. (2008). "Before ''Contes du temps passe'' (1697): Charles Perrault's ''Griselidis'', ''Souhaits'' and ''Peau''". ''The Romantic Review'', Volume 99, Number 3, pp. 175-189.〕 It is Aarne-Thompson type 327B, the small boy defeats the ogre.〔Heiner, Heidi Anne. ("Tales Similar to Hop o' My Thumb" ).〕 This type of fairytale, in the French oral tradition, is often combined with motifs from the type 327A, similar to ''Hansel and Gretel''; one such tale is ''The Lost Children''.〔Delarue, Paul. ''The Borzoi Book of French Folk-Tales''. Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., New York, 1956, p. 365.〕
The story was first published in English as ''Little Poucet'' in Robert Samber's 1729 translation of Perrault's book, "''Histories, or Tales of Past Times''". In 1764, the name of the hero was changed to ''Little Thumb''. In 1804, William Godwin, in "''Tabart's Collection of Popular Stories for the Nursery''", retitled it ''Hop o' my Thumb'', a term that was common in the 16th century, referring to a tiny person.〔Opie, Iona and Peter. ''The Classic Fairy Tales''. Oxford University Press, 1974, p. 129.〕
==Summary==
Hop-o'-My-Thumb (フランス語:le petit Poucet) is the youngest of seven children in a poor woodcutter's family. His greater wisdom compensates for his smallness of size. When the children are abandoned by their parents, he finds a variety of means to save his life and the lives of his brothers. After being threatened and pursued by an ogre, Poucet steals his magic seven-league boots while the monster is sleeping.
