Molly Whuppie

"Molly Whuppie" is a Scottish fairy tale popularized by the Anglo-Australian folklorist Joseph Jacobs with his English Fairy Tales (1890). It is practically identical with the Scottish-Gaelic "Maol a Chliobain" that was first printed in 1862 in John Francis Campbell's Popular Tales of the West Highlands.
