1 _Source. 2 _--Contributed by Mr. W. Gregor to _Folk-Lore Journal_, vii. 3 I have rechristened "Johnny Glaik" for the sake of the rhyme, and anglicised the few Scotticisms. 4 _Parallels. 5 _--This is clearly _The Valiant Tailor_ of the Grimms: "_x_ at a blow" has been bibliographised. 6 (See my List of Incidents in Trans. 7 Folk-Lore Congress, 1892, _sub voce. 8 _) 9 _Remarks. 10 _--How _The Valiant Tailor_ got to Aberdeen one cannot tell, though the resemblance is close enough to suggest a direct "lifting" from some English version of Grimm's _Goblins_. 11 At the same time it must be remembered that _Jack the Giant Killer_ (see Notes on No. xix.) contains some of the incidents of _The Valiant Tailor_. ← previous LVII. the Wee Bannocknext → LIX.
