The Gingerbread Girl by Lisa Campbell Ernst The Gingerbread Man (also known as The Gingerbread Boy) is a fairy tale about a gingerbread man's misadventures while fleeing from various people that culminates in the titular character being eaten by a fox. "The Gingerbread Boy" first appeared in print in the May 1875, issue of St. Nicholas Magazine in a cumulative tale which, like " The Little Red Hen," depends on repetitious scenes featuring an ever-growing cast of characters for its effect.

I asked where she found it and she said an old lady told it to her in her childhood." [2] 1875 story [ edit ]
