Randolph Caldecott for the
nursery rhyme and
cumulative tale "
This Is the House That Jack Built", which appeared in an 1887 book of children's stories. The poem does not actually tell the story of
Jack building a house, but instead shows how the house is indirectly linked to numerous things and people. It is believed to date back to the mid-sixteenth century, but the first printed edition was in 1755.Restoration:
