Kate Greenaway published A Apple Pie in 1886 as an illustrated rhyme book to teach children the alphabet. First mentioned in writing in 1671 by clergyman John Eachard, the rhyme is probably much older. The first printed versions appeared in the mid C18th. #FolkloreThursday/1

In the C18th the rhyme was published as:
The Tragical Death of A, Apple Pye Who was Cut in Pieces and Eat by 25 Gentlemen with whom All Little People Ought to be Very Well Acquainted. Capitals I & J were written the same way, so the rhyme for I came later. #FolkloreThursday/2
