Thunderdell, the Most Iconic Giant You've Never Heard of, and a Brief History of Fee Fi Fo Fum

Did you know the giant who said "Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an English man" had a name? Well, sorta.

The first known instance of the phrase was found in the pamphlet (a cheap, unbound book more or less) entitled Have with You to Saffron-Walden in 1596 by playwright Thomas Nashe. However, the pamphlet remarks that the origins of the phrase were unknown. Quote:

"O, 'tis a precious apophthegmatical pedant, who will find matter enough to dilate a whole day of the first invention of Fy, fa, fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman [...]" pg. 20

The first known and documented instance I could find of the phrase being uttered by a giant was in the 1711 Newcastle-on-Tyne text The History of Jack and the Giants, one of the very first "Jack tales." If you're not a folklore geek like me, you may not've paid much mind to the name 'Jack' appearing damn near everywhere in fairy tales. You got Jack and the Bean Stalk, Jack-o-Lantern's, The House that Jack Built, and more modern urban legends like Springheeled Jack. He even has cognates all across Europe, such as Antonio in Italy, Hansel in Germany and Ivan in Russia. Anyway, back on topic, the Newcastle text, though once more not the original version of the story and instead a "modernized" take on it, features the iconic phrase.

"Fee, fau, fum, I smell the blood of an English man, Be alive, or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread."

The giant that utters this is Thunderdell, a two-headed giant who attacked Jack at his own banquet to avenge the deaths of all the other giants Jack has slayed up to this point, those being identified as Cormoran, whom Jack kills with a pickaxe, Blunderbore, whom Jack kills by hanging and stabbing and an unnamed female giant. Thunderdell was the penultimate of the giants Jack killed, with the final being Galligantus, who is the only of these giants that lacks a Wikipedia article.

I'm unsure if any noteworthy version of Jack and the Beanstalk identified the giant he killed, unfortunately.

Let's go up the giant beanstalk (2)

I said before that “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “Jack the Giant-Killer” are two different tales that should not be confused with each other – but it does not mean they are not related… Indeed the link between those sibling-stories goes beyond simply sharing a giant-opposing Jack. There is a running tradition in Jack adaptations and pantomimes to name the giant “Blunderbore” – which is actually one of the giants of “Jack the Giant-Killer” – and while this seems to have no root in any of the published texts above… the first printed version of the tale, the “Jack Spriggins” parody, did name the giant using a character from “Jack the Giant-Killer”. Though it was not “Blunderbore” – the Jack Spriggins tale rather names the giant “Gogmagog”.

If things were not confusing enough, the giant of “Jack and the beanstalk” is known for his iconic line, “Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the bones of an Englishman.” (It is the Jacobs’ version of the rhyme, which continues, with other rhymes saying how the giant will grind Jack’s bones to make his bread). Well, this line is ALSO present within “Jack the Giant-Killer”, but rather sung by a giant named Thunderdell. “Fee, fau, fum (or alternatively “Fe, fi, fo, fum”) / I smell the blood of an English man” – again, continued by rhymes evoking a bread made out of human bones. This line, “Fee, fi, fo, fum”, has in itself a fascinating history because, as with many British fairytales, we can find an old manifestation of it… within Shakespeare’s plays. More precisely, in Shakespeare’s famous tragedy “King Lear”, we find the lines “Fie, foh and fum / I smell the blood of a British man”. This line comes from the very end of the fourth scene of Act III, where the character of Edgar pretends to be a madman by the name of Tom, and thus speaks in mysterious references and nonsensical riddles, and when he quotes this line, he does not do it in reference to any Jack tale… But rather by mixing it to the famous British story of “Childe Rowland”. The actual quote by Edgar/Tom is “Childe Roland to the dark tower came. / His word was still ‘Fie, foh and fum, / I smell the blood of a British man’.” It is very likely to be a comical mix-up of various folktales together, since the line is not traditionally linked to the Childe Roland tale – but it is extremely interesting, because it explains the first word of the seemingly nonsensical rhyme. Indeed, the “Fe/Fee” of later Jack tales is here a “Fie”, aka the archaic onomatopoeia of disapproval, and one that Shakespeare loved to use. As such, it is possible that the original first word of the rhyme was a “fie”…

Mind you, there is an even older record of the line: it first appears in 1596, under the pen of Thomas Nashe, in his pamphlet “Haue with you to Saffron-Walden” (it was part of a series of attacks he wrote against the writer Gabriel Harvey). It is where the line first appears, under the shape of “Fy, fa and fum, / I smell the blood of an Englishman”, but within the same pamphlet, the rhyme is described as being very old, so old in fact its origin has been lost to time…

There is a lot to say about “Jack and the Beanstalk”, but for now I will highlight a final element that participates in weaving this tale in the tapestry of British folklore: the goose. In the version we all know and share, Jack steals three things from the giant. Money, a magical harp that plays on its own, and a goose that lays eggs made of gold. The goose with golden eggs actually dates back to one of the oldest collections of fables we have: Aesop’s fables written in Ancient Greece, by the seventh or sixth century BCE. One of those fables is titled “The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs”. In France, it was re-popularized by Jean de La Fontaine’s own collection of fables, which had a modernized version of the story, “La poule aux oeufs d’or”, “The hen with gold-eggs”. But it is from Aesop’s fable that came the European symbol of the “goose with golden eggs”, and various sayings and proverbs such as “Do not kill the goose that lays the golden egg”, which itself was then recut and reshaped into various other proverbs (such as “killing the goose” for a self-destructive action). If you do not know, the fable always end up the same way, though the reasons behind differ – the owner(s) of the goose that lays golden eggs end up killing it due to their greed and desire to have more gold, thus destroying the very source of money they relied upon.

But where the “golden-egged goose” link becomes interesting is within the domain of nursery rhymes. I made a LONG time ago a series of posts about “Mother Goose” (they were in fact my very first posts on this blog). Long story short, Mother Goose did not exist in England until the second half of the 18th century. Indeed, she became known to the English world thanks to the translations in English of Charles Perrault’s fairy tale collections “Les contes de ma Mère l’Oye”, “The tales of my Mother Goose”, in the early 18th century. But from the mid 18th century onwards, publishers of nursery rhymes and other children-aimed books started using “Mother Goose” as a sort of mascot, recurring figure or title-cliché, in reference to Charles Perrault’s fairytale book. As such, soon Mother Goose started becoming a British “emblem” or “symbol” of nursery rhymes as a whole, seen as “Mother Goose’s rhymes”. England invented an entire character based on this single name – and by the early 19th century, she even got her own nursery rhyme/pantomimes (the two were always closely linked and I do not have enough expertise to go into the details). The “rhyme” of Mother Goose was not notably known under the title… “Mother Goose, or the Golden Egg”/ “Old Mother Goose and the Golden Egg”. Because to the character of Mother Goose, “mascot” of fairy tales and nursery rhymes, was added the fable of the Goose that Laid Golden Eggs… And in the nursery rhyme and the pantomimes, who is the third character that makes the link between the mother and the egg-layer? Mother Goose’s son… Jack. Yes, another Jack linked to a mother figure and who ends up with a goose laying golden-eggs – though no giant appears in this version, as this Jack is rather inspired by the various Jacks of nursery rhymes (or so I heard, again, I am no expert on the topic).

As you can see, from one simple story we enter a maze of references, links and cultural inter-weaving tying together a lot of various domains…

[Irregular Webcomic! #4472](https://ift.tt/38M2KLB)

The chant "Fee-fi-fo-fum" first became familiar to me from the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, which was in some collection of fairy tales that I owned as a child and read many times. The book had a complete rhyme, which I still remember:

Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum. I smell the blood of an Englishman, Be he alive, or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to bake my bread.

This rhyme is of uncertain and ancient origin. Shakespeare uses it in King Lear, Act 3, Scene IV:

EDGAR:       Fie, foh, and fum,       I smell the blood of a British man.

Though it appears in print a few years earlier, in a pamphlet by Thomas Nashe published in 1596. He asserts that the rhyme is old and of unknown origin:

Fy, Fa and fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman.

Wikipedia lists two different versions of the full four-line rhyme as printed in the 1711 book The history of Jack and the Giants, the first in the original 1711 publication, and the second in later editions:

Fee, fau, fum, I smell the blood of an English man, Be alive, or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread.

Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum. I smell the blood of an Englishman, Be he living, or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to mix my bread.

The version I remember from my own childhood book is an odd mixture of these two, with the word "bake" instead of either "make" or "mix". I remember specifically the word "bake" in the last line, because I always thought it was an odd choice, rather than the more straightforward "make my bread". I suspect the author chose "bake" for the added alliteration it forms with "bones" and "bread". While I was familiar with the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, I had long also heard of a story about Jack the Giant Killer. I kind of tacitly assumed that this was just another name for the same story, since beanstalk Jack definitely killed a giant. But I later discovered that Jack the Giant Killer is a completely different story, about a youth named Jack who kills a swag of different giants, and doesn't have anything to do with magic beans at all. And then I thought it was a bit of a coincidence to have two different youths, both named Jack, who both happen to go around killing giants. Maybe it's some sort of nominative determinism and everyone named Jack has a destiny to become a giant killer. Then I discovered that "Jack" is a common name for an archetypal folk hero character in English folklore. And not only is there Jack and the Beanstalk, and Jack the Giant Killer, but the same archetypal youth named Jack appears in Little Jack Horner, Jack and Jilll, Jack Be Nimble, Jack Frost, Jack Sprat, Jack and his Comrades, Stingy Jack, and This is the House that Jack Built. That's a lot of Jacks.

God kvall! Klockfun ar 18.27 och jag har satt mig en stund pa Tabakalera bibliotek och har lanat en av deras lane-laptops for en stunds skapande och fortaljande om dagens handelser. Idag har jag visat mig och mina “gatupratare” till inplastade pappersbockar (se posters pa lank nedan) pa “bankgatan” ─ utanfor en nedstangd banklokal vars verksamhet hade flyttat.

Jag fick 2 x ¢50 och kunde idag kopa mig hela tre tandsticksaskar (har hittat dem for ¢20 pa en speciell tobaksaffar i norra staden nu) vilket ska fa mig sjalvstandig pa eld de narmaste dagarna/natterna. Det ar ett gissel att fraga passerande gangtrafikanter om eld till “spisen” jag har till mitt kaffevatten eller for att kunna tanda tobaken i den pipa jag bar med mig i mitt (tillfalliga) gatuliv.

I det statliga “hungergames” som jag fatt vara drivkraften i ett pahangs-lok for har det under dagen skett en duell i La Concha beach’s tvatthallar och dar det ar fraga om att vara den med en “salut” nog att ta den med parasitiska idéer inne pa “kammaren”. 

Efter detta “mote” i kallarlokalerna infann sig en annorlunda kansla for den gris i sack jag pastatts ha kopt utan nagot avtal ─ den tunna panterkanslan i rosa/skart som infunnit sig inuti och parallellt i min kropp (likt en sjalslig gelé) framtradde en “skummad fryspase”, nagot som genom brandskummet fran den stora kanonen i kallaren numera kandes “klattra” ut ensmed vaggarna.

Likt Michelingubben med frys-/kyleffekt fick den skara elden mota vitt skum, nagot som da det fran borjan handlade om en maskulin “Tinker Belle/Tingeling” som vid osamjan gjordes om till rent skum i en “maskin”. “Fee-fi-fo-fum”... heter ramsan och kommer fran “Jack and the beanstalk”.

[ Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, Be he alive, or be he dead I'll grind his bones to make my bread. ]

Vad man sedan gor utav den engelsmannens skumtomte far visa sig i godisfabriken till Jhul. Att slacka elden eller “sexokratmadrassen” till Trigger-fagel var daremot ett maste. 

Den dar Wonderbaum-effekten infann sig dock, jag har inte luktat sa gott pa lange ─ efter en halvtimmes skrubb och tvag i kallaren. Brandchefen namndes utav en sakerhetsvakt pa Psykiatrins Hus. Nagon hade klampat in over troskeln till Brandmastaren sjalv. En Balrog och den man menar ar en upplysningsman i morkrets dal. Lucifer till Lucia.
