Synopsis: Publisher's description: Jack can't seem to do anything useful for his poor mother. He can't even conduct an errand as simple as selling the cow; instead, he trades the beast for a handful of beans. But then, amazingly, those very beans sprout into a towering stalk, elevating Jack to a strange land ruled by a greedy giant. Jack must be clever and brave as he tries to return the giant's stolen treasures to their rightful owner. E. Nesbit's charming, wry retelling of JACK AND THE BEANSTALK was first published in 1908. This is almost certainly not the same as the very short version she published in 1896.

As of 2022-05-23 Amazon.com provides unlabeled blurb for the 2006 Candlewick edition, which is identical from "Jack can't" to "1908" but closes thus:
"Preserving the author's unabridged text, this gorgeously designed edition features the dynamic artwork and dramatic perspectives of Matt Tavares, realized in full-color illustrations."

Amazon also quotes, perhaps in full, an unusually descriptive Starred Review by from School Library Journal. Reviewer Marie Orlando identifies The Old Nursery Stories (1908)
