Reading edition
J. and W. Grimm, ‘Kinder und Hausmärchen,’ vol. i. pp. 26, 140; vol. iii. p. 15. (See ref. to these two stories, ‘Early Hist, of M.’ 1st ed. (1865) p. 338.) I find that Sir G. W. Cox, ‘Mythology’ (1870), vol. i. p. 358, had noticed the Wolf and Seven Kids as a myth of the days of the week (Note to 2nd ed.). For mentions of the wolf of darkness, see Hanusch, p. 192; Edda, ‘Gylfaginning,’ 12; Grimm, ‘D. M.’ pp. 224, 668. With the episode of the stones substituted compare the myth of Zeus and Kronos. For various other stories belonging to the group of the Man swallowed by the Monster, see Lucian, Historiæ Veræ I.; Hardy, ‘Manual of Buddhism,’ p. 501; Lane, ‘Thousand and One Nights,’ vol. iii. p. 104; Halliwell, ‘Pop. Rhymes,’ p. 98; ‘Nursery Rhymes,’ p. 48; ‘Early Hist. of Mankind,’ p. 337.
