beanstalk
" While writing 'Cold Mountain,' I held maps of two geographies, two worlds, in my mind as I wrote. One was an early map of North Carolina. Overlaying it, though, was an imagined map of the landscape Jack travels in the southern Appalachian folktales. He's much the same Jack who climbs the beanstalk, vulnerable and clever and opportunistic."
Charles Frazier

WHAT DOES BEANSTALK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Jack and the Beanstalk

"Jack and the Beanstalk" is an English fairy tale. The earliest known appearance in print is Benjamin Tabart's moralised version of 1807. "Felix Summerly" popularised it in The Home Treasury, and Joseph Jacobs rewrote it in English Fairy Tales. Jacobs' version is most commonly reprinted today and it is believed to be closer to the oral versions than Tabart's because it lacks the moralising. Jack and the Beanstalk is only the most well-known of a series of stories featuring the trickster character Jack. These "Jack tales" survived as oral traditions in the American Appalachian area and can be traced back at least to Council Harmon, a noted Appalachian storyteller whose cycle of Jack tales was collected in the twentieth century from his descendants by North American folklorist Richard Chase.
