Excerpt from The Metrical History of Tom Thumb the Little: As Issued Early in the Eighteenth Century, in Three Parts The earliest notice of the popular history of Tom Thumb, as known in England, occurs in Scot´s Discoverie of Witchcraft, 1584, where he speaks of it as amongst the tales used by servants to frighten children withall. Tom Thumb is there spoken of in company with "changlings, incubus, Robin Good-fellow, the spoorne, the mare, the man in the oke, the helle-waine, the fiere-drake, the puckle, hob-gobblin, Tom Tumbler, boneles, and such other bugs," bugs, of course, meaning, bug-bears.
