Hi all,
 
I am writing a paper for my graduate class on mythology and folklore.   It is 
comparing the original fairy tale to subsequent revisions - republications  
of the same story.  I have to find the tale as close to the original as I  
possible can.  The tale I chose was Puss in Boots.  So far the oldest  I have been 
able to 'get my hands on' is from 1841.  I called the NYPL the  Donnell has 
an extensive children's collection but only goes back to mid 19th  century.  
The librarian there told me that some professional journals may  have a copy of 
the original tale in an article.  I am searching some  databases that I am 
able to access but I am not having much success.  does  anyone have any 
suggestions on what search terms I should use, or where else I  may be able to find 
what I need.  Thank you for your time and effort.
