“ The Gingerbread Girl”

"The Gingerbread Man" (sometimes, "The Gingerbread Boy") is an American  fairy tale

• It is a variant of the  European  

runaway 

pancake  story.

The American version first appeared in the May 1875 issue of  St. Nicholas Magazine .

• The story tells of a  Gingerbread Man  who runs away from the old woman who baked him. He is chased by several people and animals.

• A crafty fox finally eats him. The tale is known for the title character's chant: "Run, run, run as fast as you can! / You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!" 

• Gingerbread men were popular characters in children's stories of the late 19th century. 

• Folk tales of the runaway food type are found in Germany, the British Isles, and Eastern Europe, as well the United States. [2]

Joseph Jacobs  published "Johnny-Cake" in his  English Fairy Tales  (1890), basing his tale on a version found in the  American Journal of Folk-Lore. [1]  Jacobs' johnny-cake rolls rather than runs, and the fox tricks him by pretending to be deaf and unable to hear his taunting verse. In "The Wee Bannock" from  More English Fairy Tales  (1894), Jacobs records a Scottish tale with a  bannock  as hero. [5]
