SimonRoyHughes, Revisiting my notes on The Three Bears, and I have a question about "Scrapefoot," which was discovered by Joseph Jacobs in 1894, and may predate Robert Southey’s version.
It tells of three bears in a castle, which are visited by Scrapefoot, a cunning fox. Scrapefoot takes their milk, chairs, beds...
Could it have been a tale in the Reynard cycle?
