1 _Source_.--Discovered by Mr. E. Clodd, in “Suffolk Notes and Queries” of the _Ipswich Journal_, published by Mr. Lang in _Longinan's Magazine_, vol. xiii, also in _Folk-Lore_, Sept. 1890. 2 _Parallels_.--The beginning recalls “King Lear.” 3 For “loving like salt,” see the parallels collected by Cosquin, i. 288. 4 The whole story is a version of the numerous class of Cinderella stories, the particular variety being the Catskin sub-species analogous to Perrault's _Peau d'Ane_. 5 “Catskin” was told by Mr. Burchell to the young Primroses in “The Vicar of Wakefield,'” and has been elaborately studied by the late H. C. Coote, in _Folk-Lore Record_, iii. 6 1-25. 7 It is only now extant in ballad form, of which “Cap o' Rushes” may be regarded as a prose version. ← previous X. Mouse and Mouser.next → XII.
