Generations of children have delighted in the nursery rhyme about Jack and his house. Starting with the familiar refrain "This is the house that Jack built. This is the malt that lay in the house that Jack built, " the age-old chant expands to include the maiden all forlorn, the cow with the crumpled horn, and other distinctive characters.
