  The chief points in this tale have already been noted in others. We may, however, note the following: The Devil in Stephen the Murderer, p. 7, in this collection, at once appears, when summoned, as in this tale. Page 290. With regard to the menu of the devil, cf. "Here lies the carcass of a cursÉd sinner Doomed to be roasted for the devil's dinner." Poems of Robert Wilde. Strahan, 1870. Page 296. There is a hunt for the father of a child in the Lapp. "JÆtten, Katten og Gutten." Friis. Cf. Payne, Arabian Nights, vii. p. 227. Page 297. Hot Bath, see p. 276, in this collection; and Afanassieff, v. 23. |
